__NOEDITSECTION__ Uktena is a dark, powerful, and quite ancient Totem. He seeks mysteries; indeed, he hungers for them. He is also secretive, contending only he and His children may properly approach these mysteries. Therefore, the pack's association with Uktena causes other Garou to mistrust them and is the cause of many social difficulties in dealing with other Garou. Garou of the Uktena Tribe, however, will treat the Pack as lost siblings. In the Umbra, Uktena surrounds its Children with a protective ward. Individuals favored by Uktena are taught secret lore and knowledge by it. In addition, Uktena's children may seek knowledge of Gifts from their Totem.
