1. Prologue
They said they had come as friends. They, the Sky people, the aysawtute. At first they seemed to be friendly. But then their big machines came. The machines that tore up the ground, destroyed the trees and killed our people.
The aysawtute had sent a woman, Dr. Grace Augustine, who really had become a friend of the Na'vi people. Using a Dreamwalker body, she learnt our language, and taught many of us the language of the Sky people. The children adored her as she adored the children.
But too many of the aysawtute were not here to be our friends, as they said. They wanted something from the soil of our world, and they were willing to wage a war with the Na'vi to get what they wanted.
At first there was a single man that came. His name was Jakesully. He was sent to us to learn about us, to become one of the People. He did. After becoming one of the Omatikaya he even mated with the daughter of our Tsahik and the Olo'eyktan, the clan leader.
Jakesully told us that the Sky people would not stop at anything to get what they wanted. Many did not believe him. Until the aysawtute came, with their flying machines, and destroyed the tree that had been our home for so many generations. Many were killed, among whom Eytukan, our Olo'eyktan. More were wounded. The People suffered.
It was then, in the time of great pain and sorrow, that the next Toruk Makto stood up. It was Jakesully, who brought together the clans. Jakesully, whose Dreamwalker body had been left at the site where once Kelutral, our Hometree, had stood.
There was war. It was not a long war in time, but it was fierce, bloody and painful. But the Sky people were defeated, and they went back to their own worlds.
Some of them were free to stay. Many chose that option, others left with their own people.
Before the war, we had tried to save Dr. Grace Augustine, who had been injured badly by one of their own people, a soldier. She is with Eywa now, the force that is everything, for her wounds were too serious. Mo'at, our Tsahik, and the combined efforts of the People, were not strong enough to help her weak body to move from her tawtute body to the Dreamwalker body she had used to walk among us.
And this evening, by his request, we try to bring Jakesully into his Dreamwalker body, so he will be a true Omatikaya.
Whatever happens, we know that the life of the Na'vi people will never be the same again.
Puvomun,
teacher and singer of the Omatikaya
