Definitions of totem

Any group can have a totem, but the word totem is from the Algonquian (Native American) word odoodeman for ‘his family mark.’ Totems are pictures — usually on badges or emblems — of animals or plants that represent a group of people, especially an extended family or clan. A totem could be a grizzly bear, oak tree, catfish, or just about any other living thing. Like a flag, a totem means a lot to the people it represents.
