| Since the early 1990s, Somalia has suffered from a civil war between rival clans. |
| There was a time in the 80's when it looked as if the clans were gathering again to avenge Glencoe, so ubiquitous was the tartan kilt. |
| And on this day, kings, queens and chiefs from those clans gather to honor a Thembu son with their symbol of bravery. |
| Some clans were matrilineal, and children were affiliated with their mother's clan. |
| Totems of specific clans, healers, or royal dynasties are taboo to certain members of some ethnic groups. |
| And so all the clans who have totems, those totems define certain territories. |
