Literature employs the word “totem” as a multifaceted symbol that embodies both physical markers and deeper cultural, religious, and social meanings. It is depicted as a tangible emblem—ranging from tattooed designs [1] and carved marks on the ground [2] to feathers worn during ceremonial displays [3]—while also representing an ancestral or primal figure that defines and sanctifies clan identity [4][5]. This dual function underscores its role not only as an external sign of affiliation but also as a metaphoric bridge connecting individuals to their shared heritage and the sacred forces that govern social order. Furthermore, some works highlight its dynamic involvement in ritual practices that both honor and regulate the group’s collective memory and ecological relationship, emphasizing its powerful position in the literature of religion and anthropology [6][7].
