I searched for it, but the only topic I found on it was over a year old (although my search fu is weak, perhaps I missed something else)
In reading the Totem warrior archetype in the book and on the PRD, there is nothing suggesting it does anything but suggest rage powers.
However, if we go to the rage power section on the barbarian page we see that apparently being a totem warrior allows you to take multiple totemsas we see here
Specifically
Rage Powers: Any barbarian who meets the powers' prerequisites can select and use the following new rage powers. Totem rage powers grant powers related to a theme. A barbarian cannot select from more than one group of totem rage powers; for example, a barbarian who selects a beast totem rage power (see the Advanced Player's Guide) cannot later choose to gain any of the dragon totem rage powers (any rage power with “dragon totem” in its title), unless she has the totem warrior archetype.
Emphasis mine.
So this archetype gives up nothing, but allows the use of multiple totems.
I just don't understand why you would not play a totem warrior. There is no reason to play a Vanilla barbarian or even any archetype without the totem warrior as well, you lose nothing and gain something handy.
So my question is was this the intent? Or was the Totem warrior supposed to give something up?

Hardly, I exhumed 3 topics on this exact subject last friday...
However, in short, nobody knows. One would think that the totem warrior would be limited to only totem rage powers and those listed in the entry of the totem warrior archetype, but in truth nobody knows.
As previously suggested, hit the faq request like mad anytime the topic shows up and maybe will get a clarification.

Ah so you are correct. My bad, I apologize for that. In my defense though I had just gotten off a long days work and looking back I seem to have searched for totem and not totem warrior which produces the topics you spoke about.
