We’re trying to evolve beyond the ‘all humans are bad, all Na’vi are good’ paradigm. Honestly, I'm interested. The Na'vi clans we've been introduced to so far have been largely peaceful, although they're able to defend themselves against the forces of the RDA when needed.

Avatar: Fire and Ash director James Cameron reveals more about the nomadic Na'vi tribe known as the Wind Traders. Serving as a follow-up to 2022's Avatar: The Way of Water, the third installment in the hit Avatar franchise will once again follow the Sully family as they deal with the invading human forces on Pandora.
