A totem is a natural object, life a leaf or rock, or an animate being, as an animal or bird, or even a natural phenomenon, like wind or fire, assumed as the emblem of a clan, family, or group. Although the word is of Ojibwa origin, cultures throughout time and across the globe have similarly represented and mythologized their families and origins.
