Totem guardian spirits are known amoung the Native North Americans, espicially amoung the tribes of the American Northwest coast.These totem spirits can protect an entire tribe or clan with collective power or the individual power of the animal. The totem animal is considered sacred to the entire tribe and no one within the tribe may kill their particular totem animal.
There are also messanger totem animals that will enter the young warriors life to give direction, wisdom, warnings, or the way that a particular situation must go.
Most Native American will have more than one totem. They will have a birth totem endowed upon them in ceremony at birth and a particular power totem they will aquire as they grow in wisdom and stature. They will also honor the totem of their tribe and they will also encounter certain totems frequently that are messanger totems given to them.
