CHAH-mooz-ee
A CHAH-mooz-ee was a symbol used among the more traditional descendants of the Rubber Tree People, which had many meanings depending on its use. It was considered a symbol of healing, and could be drawn on various natural objects as a blessing to the land, such as on the ground for scarring it with a campfire, or a piece of a tree that was cut down for firewood. It was also drawn on the ground during greetings as a sign of respect. It was sometimes associated with "Sky Spirits". ()

In 2372, Chakotay, a descendant of the Rubber Tree People, found a CHAH-mooz-ee on a moon in the Delta Quadrant that had been visited by the Sky Spirits. On the Spirits' planet, not knowing his tribal language and without a universal translator, he used the symbol to show the aliens that he meant no harm. ()

A stone with a CHAH-mooz-ee on it was also in Chakotay's medicine bundle. He often started rituals involving it by taking the stone and addressing it by his name. ()
