HISTORY OF THE NA’VI

The Na’vi have a long and storied history dating back many thousands of years

The Na’vi are a proud people who place great importance on sharing stories of their ancestors with the next generation. These tales—referred to by the Na’vi as the “First Songs”—are not written down, but form a rich oral history. Scenes from them are depicted in cave paintings and artifacts.

The societies portrayed in the First Songs are fundamentally very similar to the Na’vi clans of today, despite the great passage of time between them. Studies by xenoanthropologists suggest the Na’vi have experienced few evolutionary changes or changes in population numbers for at least 12 million years. This can be explained by Pandora’s balanced ecosystem and a lack of external pressures, meaning that there was simply no need for the Na’vi to change their ways. The First Songs the Na’vi teach their children thus remain relevant for generation after generation.

Flying into legend

The exploits of the first rider of the toruk are central to the Na’vi story and are often depicted in cave paintings and other crafts.
