Oh...wow I feel stupid. I watched this show once, not too long ago, they took these troubled teens out into the wilderness so that they could deal with their "issues" head-on and hands on with help (psychiatrists and stuff). When they were done with their program, ready to graduate and enter back into the real world they had a ceremony. At the ceremony they were given a "totem" and an explanation of why their mentors thought that the animal that they were given fit them. It symbolized their fight and strength to overcome whatever it was that they were there to overcome. I think that type of totem, at least for me, would hold very high and special signifigance.
