Description This was another class project for Washington State History.

Native American animal totems all denote certain qualities.
After our class had perused an extensive list of animal totems,
we were asked to choose the one that relates most closely to us.

I chose the moose for the following qualities:
self-esteem, confidence, strength, assertiveness, spontaneity, unpredictability, longevity, steadfastness, value, integrity, headstrongness, wisdom, pride, accomplishment, scrutiny, and attention to detail.

The moose is one of the most ancient Native American animal totems. He rouses the power of confidence through the recognition of ones own strengths, talents, and achievements. He is passionate and proud of who he is. The moose owns his gifts, speaks the truth, and knows exactly where he stands.

That is basically who I am, both the good and the bad, lol.

After selecting our totem, we were asked to draw our animal in the tribal way of the Native Americans.

So voila! Here is my moosey.
He is colored with fine-point sharpies, of course.

Drawn October 02, 2006.

I believe it's more of a general Native American belief.
