The irony in "Totem" by Thomas King lies in the fact that the protagonist, an Indigenous man named Leo, works at a museum displaying Native artifacts despite feeling disconnected from his own cultural identity. This juxtaposition highlights the complexities of cultural appropriation and assimilation faced by Indigenous people in a colonial society.

What is the plot summary of Totem by Thomas King?

The theme of this short story. "Totem" is that traditions change in order to merge into the main society. In a simple way of saying, it explores the story behind the assimilation of the First Nations by Canadian Governments. You could say, the theme is Change vs. Tradition vs. Choice. Basically, Thomas King uses the technique of understatement to express the feeling of that Canadian Government is not taking care of its people. The government only accepts the problem, but not actually solving it. Just like the replacement of the First Nations to the reserve lands. Correct me, if I made any mistakes. ^.^
