What does the word totem mean from totem pole?

Totem is a word from the languages of eastern North America that was taken into English and incorrectly applied to those west coast poles.

It comes from the Algonquian languages: Ojibwe nindoodem(my clan), odoodemi (to belong to a clan), odoidaymiwan (clan system); Mik'maq aoutem (family relations). These words passed into English as "totem" and came to mean a clan symbol or clan animal, so when the early explorers reached the west coast they used the same word for the decorated poles made by the native tribes of that area. The Haida, Nootka, Tsimshian, Kwakiutl and others each had their own name for a totem pole - and it certainly wasn't totem.

How do you put a rope balloon on your transformice totem?

You can't. Here's the only way you can attach a balloon to your totem:

1. Take a balloon. Place it (like it was a box) where you want it on your totem.

2. Take a yellow anchor. Place the anchor wherever you want on the balloon!

If the anchor does not show up on the screen, that means that you did not successfully attach the balloon to your totem. Make sure an object is actually behind your balloon before you anchor.

The easiest way to attach balloons, is to put the balloons beneath your totem, so that the fat, round part (top) of the balloon is barely overlapping the part of your totem that you want to float / go upwards. Then yellow anchor it.
