Totoma

In the stories passed down among the Kimeti about creation, a frequent motif is that the Motherfather in the shape of a crane laid an egg which hatched many creatures which became the first Kimeti. Aside from the Kimeti there were four others: the Acha, the Totoma, the Zikwa, and the Kiokote.

The Totoma are said to have been a ferocious and warlike bunch who left the Kimeti and the Swamp in favor of a cold and snowy place very difficult for the Kimeti to imagine, where they could hold large territories, spot enemies from afar, and test their abilities.
