Excerpt from Import of the Totem: A Study From the Omaha Tribe It is noteworthy that the totems of individuals, as far as known, and those of the gentes, represented the Same class of objects or phenomena, and, as totems could be obtained in but one way - through the rite of the vision the totem of a gens must have come into existence in that manner, and must have represented the manifestation of an ancestor's vision, that of a man whose ability and opportunity served to make him the founder of a family, of a group of kindred who dwelt together, fought together, and learned the value of united strength.

Book Description
Excerpt from Totemism: A Consideration of Its Origin and Import According to the first, no man shall marry or cohabit with a woman of his own totem group; and under the second, members of a totem shall abstain from killing or eating the totem object. Up to the pub liration of Messrs. Spencer and Gillen's important work on The Natives of Central Australia, these canons were regarded by Dr. Frazer as the vital elements of totemism, sine qua non. Since his acquaintance, however, with the data therein presented, he has been led to look with different eyes upon these canons, and now appears doubtful of their force and validity, and in their place seems desirous of establishing a new test, which may be termed the Canon of l'rovinder. As we shall presently have to refer to these doubtful canons in our consideration of Dr. Haddon's views, we need not stop to examine their validity here, but pass on to a consideration of the evidence upon which this later canon has been established.
