{UAH} The Ganda clan totems used by the US and UK (copied)
The US uses the eagle (Mpuungu). UK uses the lion (Mpologoma).
Ps. Note that the eagle is also considered sacred in the bible - old testament.The Lion Clan. — The Lion Clan give the following The Lion reason for the choice of their totems : Kintu, soon after ^^^"' he had ascended the throne, went out to hunt a lion and an eagle, taking with him among his retainers some of his sons. After killing the lion, he left a chief named Sabaganda to flay it, and to dry the skin. This occupied nine days, after which Sabaganda took the skin and pre- sented it to Kintu, who, placing it on the ground and standing upon it in the presence of a large crowd, announced to his children that the lion was to be a sacred animal in the future, and that they must not harm it. In like manner, when he had killed an eagle, he had the skin dressed and added it to the lion's skin for a rug, and told his sons that the eagle was to be considered a sacred bird, and to become their totem. From that time onward, these two skins, together with the leopard's skin, have formed the royal rug (kiyu), upon which the King sits or stands for State ceremonies ; and the animals and birds in question have been looked upon as sacred to royalty. Indeed, formerly no one was allowed to possess any of these skins ; they were a royal monopoly, and were sent to the King.
