TOTEMS OF ORAON COMMUNITY
Mundari "kili" is similar to Sanskrit kul. The initial term of the Irish Scotch word of CLEN. The custom of the
tribe is also in other nations. As like, Signs are found in Asia and Europe. As
the Munda community developed by the custom of the tribe, the same happened in
the Oraons. Research Experts say that the customs of the tribes of the
indigenous people have been flowing on the individual form. The tribe is the
main identity of their totems; it is a strong bond between the family and the
nation. It is formed to avoid family dynasty and the destruction of the nation.
The totem is the natural symbol of their group, which is very worshipful to
them.
That
is why the father of their lineage is said to be the son of the father in
totem, not the mother. Like his father Tigga Totem, his child will be in Tigga
Totem. With a few special purposes, Totem tradition strengthens the society.
Such as
1.
Marriage is prohibited among children in the same totem.
2.
In order not to create misery in the village.
3.
Protecting your own group and protecting relationships with different groups or
totems.
Whenever
they get people from their totem anywhere in the world, they are considered to
be members of their own group or blood and in relation to their age group. They
relate to the brother's marriage to Yair and Shali to Gui.
There
is a story about the origin of these totems. Like the name of a totem in Kujur,
this Kujur totem originates from an Oraon asleep under the Kujur tree. To
protect him from the clutches of violent animal, a stroke of the Kujur tree is
tangled to the sleeping man.
