If that is a passion of yours, mountain goat may be your totem. They are the most skilled rock climbers of North American mammals. Folks with this totem are known for balance and agility. Nimble on their feet and flexible, they are often good dancers or gymnasts.
For other uses of clan or clans, see Clan (disambiguation). A clan is a group of people united by actual or perceived kinship and descent. Even if lineage details are unknown, clan members may be organized around a founding member or apical ancestor. The kinship-based bonds may be symbolic, whereby the clan shares a stipulated common ancestor that is a symbol of the clan's unity.
[Middle English, from Scottish Gaelic clann, family, from Old Irish cland, offspring, from Latin planta, plant, sprout; see plat- in the Appendix of Indo-European roots.] Word History: The word clan is, from the etymological point of view, the same word as plant. Such a statement may at first appear unlikely to English speakers, since the two words begin with very different consonants. But to the speakers of the Celtic language of Ireland in the 400s, known as Old Irish, c and p sounded quite similar.
