Totem

Totem is any object, animal or plant that is worshiped as a god or equivalent by a society organized around a symbol or a religion, which is called totemism. By religious definition we can say that it is a collective tribal label, which has a religious character. It is in relation to him that things are classified as sacred or profane. According to Schoolcraft, analyzing the terms of North American tribal totems, "the totem," he says, "is in fact a design corresponding to the heraldic emblems of civilized nations and which each person is authorized to carry as proof of the identity of the family to which It is what the true etymology of the word, derived from 'dodaim', which means village or residence of a family group, demonstrates. Totem é qualquer objeto, animal ou planta que seja cultuado como deus ou equivalente por uma sociedade organizada em torno de um símbolo ou por uma religião, a qual é denominada totemismo. Por definição religiosa podemos afirmar que é uma etiqueta coletiva tribal, que tem um caráter religioso. É em relação a ele que as coisas são classificadas em sagradas ou profanas. Segundo Schoolcraft, analisando os termos dos totens tribais da América do Norte, "o totem, diz ele, é na verdade um desenho que corresponde aos emblemas heráldicos das nações civilizadas e que cada pessoa é autorizada a portar como prova da identidade da família à qual pertence. É o que demonstra a etimologia verdadeira da palavra, derivada de 'dodaim', que significa aldeia ou residência de um grupo familiar".
