Some tribes here in the Northwestern U.S. avoid eating meat of their family or personal totem animal, out of respect and reverence to the spirit of that animal. Others do eat the totem's animal out of respect. It just depends on what the tribe or the individual believe more strongly.

Personally, I won't use anything resembling my power animal's fur/bones/claws/et.al. But I do use feathers, bone flutes, ect. (of other animals of the totem I draw on the powers of) that I have gathered and empowered to work as fetishes, effigies and instruments myself. This was how I was taught, and what my own guides have explained to me. Everyone is different, of course.
