TOTEMS

All Aboriginal groups, families and even individuals had their own special totems or spirit guides, these were animals, birds or natural things that the people felt a special kinship with. The totem that represented a certain group or family was never hunted or harmed by those people. In the case of individual totems, it was believed that, for example, if a herd of kangaroos passed by during the birth of a baby, then that person had been chosen by those animals and would have a certain bond with them. Totems were never chosen but inherited mainly through the patrilineal line and were usually painted on items belonging to the group or family.
