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.
The word clan is derived from the Gaelic word clanna, meaning children. However, the need for proved descent from a common ancestor related to the chiefly house is too restrictive. Clans developed a territory based on the native men who came to accept the authority of the dominant group in the vicinity.
