Anishinaabe clan system : ウィキペディア英語版 | Anishinaabe clan system The Anishinaabe, like most Algonquian-speaking groups in North America, base their system of kinship on patrilineal clans or totems. The Anishinaabe word for clan (''doodem'') was borrowed into English as totem. The clans, based mainly on animals, were instrumental in traditional occupations, intertribal relations, and marriages. Today, the clan remains an important part of Anishinaabe identity. == Tradition == The Anishinaabe peoples were divided into a number of odoodeman, or clans, (singular: ''odoodem'') named mainly for animal totems (or ''doodem'', as an Ojibwe person would say this word in English). According to oral tradition, when the Anishinaabe were living along the Atlantic Ocean coast and the great ''Miigis'' beings appeared out the sea and taught the Mide way of life to the Waabanakiing peoples, six of the seven great ''Miigis'' beings that remained to teach established the ''odoodeman'' for the peoples in the east. 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). Traditionally, each band had a self-regulating council consisting of leaders of the communities' clans or ''odoodeman'', with the band often identified by the principle ''doodem''. In meeting others, the traditional greeting among the Ojibwe peoples is "What is your ''doodem''?" ("''Aaniin odoodemaayan?''") in order to establish a social conduct between the two meeting parties as family, friends or enemies.
