The Omaticaya Clan
Current Olo'eyktan: [Position Open]
Current Tsahìk: Kilvan'mawey
General Information:
The Omaticaya Clan or in Na'vi; The Blue Flute Clan, is a forest Na'vi Clan that is one of the Clans that was intrumental in driving the Sky People off of Pandora 150 years ago. Since then much has changed within the Clan mainly due to the loss of their main dwelling, Hometree and the destruction of the Tree of Voices. Now they live in smaller trees around the great stump of what was left of Hometree as a miracle happened that they took as a sign to stay instead of move elsewhere in the jungles of Pandora.
The Legend of Neytiri:
After the Sky People were driven from Pandora, there was a time of recovery and peace as the Omaticaya were led by Jake Sully and his mate Neytiri. However time passed and what was given by Eywa must be returned as after many years Jake Sully finally died of old age, and left Neytiri alone. Neytiri mourned her love, and she held a vigil in the middle of the stump of Hometree for three nights and three days. It is said that she shed three tears, all of which landed upon the base of the old tree. After those three days she died, joining Eywa and her beloved mate, but the next day after the Clan mourned her, they saw that where her tears had landed a new Tree of Voices had grown! Thus the Omaticaya took it as a sign to stay and have since built homes within several trees around the new Tree of Voices.
Important Trees:
- The Communal Tree: This tree is the largest and it is where the Olo'eyktan and Tsahìk and their families live with their Ikran in the branches above. It is also where the Clan gathers when they need to meet, eat and have celebrations as the kitchens and food stores are located within this tree's roots.
- The Loom Tree: This is where the great looms or mas'kit nivi sa'nok that the Omaticaya are famous for are housed. The weavers reside here with their families and Ikran.
- The Pa'li Tree: This is where the Clan's Pa'li are kept and off of that area is where the Warriors and Hunters train.
There are other trees, mostly family trees with the family members' Ikrans that live above in the branches. However all trees are open for someone to sleep in regardless considering the Na'vi don't have a system of true ownership over these new dwellings.
Occupations:
There are a varied number of jobs within the Omaticaya Clan that someone can hold. However, like all Na'vi Clans, their children are trained to become competent Hunters and Warriors as well as whatever other training the wish to undertake.
Main Occupations (i.e. all Na'vi have to get trained in these):
- Hunter
- Warrior
Secondary Occupations:
- Weaver
- Healer
- Scout
- Messenger
- Singer
- Historian/Storyteller (also has to be a singer as the Na'vi have story songs to tell their histories)
