Clan (Tribe):
Clan Name: Tama'hoji (Of the Viskalin'am)
Families: Walv’in
Territory: The Tama'hoji make their home in the central shroud South of Finders' Bluff. Their hunting grounds range from south-east of Florentel's Spire, stretching to Adler's springs. Known to have gone as far as the Iaxli logging grounds in times of famine. They go through great efforts to not make contact with anyone other than their kind, very racially discriminatory. If their settlement is found by others, they will take down the houses and move locations.Â
Sexual Mores: While heterosexual breeding was of great importance, homosexual practices where commonplace due to Viskalin'am('s) teachings. Their religion urges homosexual practices as women were dominant and men considered lesser to them. On the First moon of Fifth Umbral Moon, the females chose from the males whom were mature to bare their offspring. This night would be referred to as "The choosing," by the tribe. The ritualistic breeding would continue till the first light shined in each individual home. Afterwards, the females would force them males to leave and would assume the practices of Viskalin'am.Â
It was very common for a female to keep many males outside of "The Choosing," to mate with to relieve sexual frustration though it was impossible to conceive as the females were not ovulating.
As regards to choosing a partner outside of "The Choosing," one would go to the Kasin'ama'lan or Handler of the people during childhood (around age 5), who would choose out of the clan's populous' respected gender, and found gem'halan, a bond. These two Miqo'te would grow up as partners and if male, would have no children to claim as their own, and if female, would have many children with her partner. Females often had five to nine children within a seven year time due to their fertility.Â
The role of caretaker was assigned to the submissive female in the gem'halan.
Traditions:
Matriarch domination:
Matriarch Domination is the dominance over the opposite gender in the tribe, males. The female Miqo'te assumed dominance over the male Miqo'te.
Clan Traditions:
Child rearing: As soon as a female Miqo'te is born, she is automatically placed above any male, even a twin brother. She is raised believing that she is of higher standing or worth than her male counterpart. That the male of any race is to serve under her and never to rule over her. The female Miqo'te was the only one allowed to wield a weapon and teach the art to themselves and if they found a male practicing the art, he would be punished with lashes and no meals for as long as they deemed necessary..
As soon as a male Miqo'te is born, he is automatically shunned by his mother and shoved to a male whom was not his biological father and given the title: "Orphan" as to not grace the men with a child.  He is taught by the males elder to him that he was to serve the women, to speak when spoken to, to not argue back, to give and receive anything the women wanted of him.  He was taught in the craft of whomever received him. Many males focused on the practice of pleasing their female superiors in whatever she needed. They were the bread makers of their clan. They provided food and served it to the females before feeding themselves.
Religious painting or Talva'nin (practice of the blood writing): At birth the Miqo'te would place a small cut to the foot of the infant, drawing blood from them. It would be applied to their face and body in regards to their name and gender. The females would do this to both genders at birth (before handing off the son if she bore a male).
Coming of age:Â The coming of age has two rituals, the creation of gem'halan, and the bringing of adulthood: Bnra.Â
Bnra is taken place during the Third moon of the First Umbral Moon, where all Miqo'te gather to the Kasin'ama'lan and are born the name: Jilvn'kanama (Adult). Though they first must answer several questions that will determine if they will be driven out of the clan or will be allowed to stay. This applies to both genders.
Ceremonies:Â
They are clan secrets.
Miqo'te of foreign origin joining the tribe:
When a Miqo'te keeper of the moon finds the Tama'hoji, they are asked if they have a clan or tribe they call home. Many say yes which causes the Tama'hoji to run them off. For those who say nay are asked if they wish to undergo Disl'yvin (conversion of origins) which makes them renounce their origin and past and start anew as a member of the Tama'hoji, thus assuming that they were bore somewhere else. The Miqo'te (male or female) therefore is given a new name and Talva'nin is applied onto them.Â
