Ancient Totems Expose Shona Family Ties
Totems represent a kinship system among the Shona people. The system works through two key parts—Mutupo and Chidawo. Mutupo shows your clan identity, such as Shumba. Chidawo points to your specific lineage, like Murambwi. Your full totem might be Shumba Murambwi or Moyo Chirandu. People who share a lineage trace their roots back to a common ancestor. Many different Mutupos exist across communities. Some clan totems have several lineage branches connected to them. The origins of this system date back to the ancient Shona civilization. Historical accounts suggest two main totem groups existed at the beginning—Soko and Dziva. As communities expanded, people formed new lineages and even created entirely new totems. An interesting pattern...
