In James Cameron’s Avatar, Pandora’s primary intelligent species is called the Na’vi. They are tall, blue humanoid inhabitants of the moon and are central to the film’s conflict and story.
The Na’vi live in several clans with distinct environments and traditions. The film follows Jake Sully as he uses an avatar body to interact with the Omaticaya clan and becomes involved in their resistance to the human mining operation.
Pandora is not Earth and is not a planet in the film’s setting. It is a habitable moon orbiting the fictional gas giant Polyphemus in the Alpha Centauri system. The name Pandora echoes the Greek myth, but the film develops its own world, languages, ecology, and cultural history.
