 The five original Anishinaabe totems were "Wawaazisii" (bullhead), "Baswenaazhi" (echo-maker, i.e., crane), "Aan'aawenh" (pintail duck), "Nooke" (tender, i.e., bear) and "Moozwaanowe" ("little" moose-tail).The totems established "a framework of government to give them strength and order" in which each totem represents a core branch of knowledge and responsibility essential to society.Today, six general totems compose this framework.
