Mansara

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

Several mansaras in the habak

A mansara is a doll in the Native American culture, which represents 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 beside the coyote, the bear, and the parrot also Klingon, Ferengi, and Vulcan spirits are part of the ceremony. They are not bound by time. (TNG: "Journey's End")
