Mansara

A mansara was a doll in the Native American culture which represented the spirit of an individual during a vision quest in the habak.
When Wesley Crusher was invited by Lakanta to join him in the habak in the colony of Dorvan V in 2370 to find his own path, he asked the Indian about the colored decorations on the wall. He also saw a Klingon emblem on one of the mansaras and was told by Lakanta that in addition to the coyote, the bear, and the parrot, Klingon, Ferengi, and Vulcan spirits were part of the ceremony as well. They were not bound by time. ()
