Torres Strait Islanders have auguds, typically translated as totems.

Totems are sometimes attached to moiety relations (such as in the case of Wangarr relationships for the Yolngu). The lakinyeri or clans of the Ngarrindjeri were each associated with one or two plant or animal totems, called ngaitji. In some cases, such as the Yuin of coastal New South Wales, a person may have multiple totems of different types (personal, family or clan, gender, tribal and ceremonial). The term 'token' has replaced 'totem' in some areas. Many Indigenous groups object to using the imported Ojibwe term 'totem' to describe a pre-existing and independent practice, although others use the term. The spiritual, mutual relationships between Aboriginal Australians, Torres Strait Islanders, and the natural world are often described as totems.

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).

Six of the seven great Miigis beings that remained to teach established the odoodeman for the peoples in the east. These beings taught the Mide way of life to the Waabanakiing peoples. In the Anishinaabe oral tradition, in prehistory the Anishinaabe were living along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean when the great Miigis beings appeared from the sea. Doodem or clan literally would translate as 'the expression of, or having to do with one's heart', with doodem referring to the extended family. In Anishinaabemowin, ᐅᑌᐦ ode' means heart. The Anishinaabe peoples are divided into a number of doodeman (in syllabics: ᑑᑌᒪᐣ or ᑑᑌᒪᓐ), or clans, (singular: doodem) named mainly for animal totems (or doodem, as an Ojibwe person would say this word). However, this can be seen as cultural misappropriation. The term has also been adopted, and at times redefined, by anthropologists and philosophers of different cultures.Ĭontemporary neoshamanic, New Age, and mythopoetic men's movements not otherwise involved in the practice of a traditional, tribal religion have been known to use 'totem' terminology for the personal identification with a tutelary spirit or spirit guide. Similar concepts, under differing names and with variations in beliefs and practices, may be found in a number of cultures worldwide. While the word totem itself is an anglicisation of the Ojibwe term (and both the word and beliefs associated with it are part of the Ojibwe language and culture), belief in tutelary spirits and deities is not limited to the Ojibwe people.

A totem (from Ojibwe: ᑑᑌᒼ or ᑑᑌᒻ doodem) is a spirit being, sacred object, or symbol that serves as an emblem of a group of people, such as a family, clan, lineage, or tribe, such as in the Anishinaabe clan system.
