The Polynesian people are a group of indigenous inhabitants from the islands of the Pacific Ocean, including Hawaii, Samoa, Tonga, and New Zealand. They share cultural traits, languages, and traditions, which are rooted in their ancestral heritage. Polynesians are known for their skilled navigation and seafaring abilities, allowing them to explore and settle vast oceanic regions. Polynesian culture is rich in art, music, and dance, with practices such as hula in Hawaii and siva in Samoa. Their social structures often emphasize family and community, reflecting a deep connection to their land and environment. Traditional practices, including tattooing and weaving, are also significant aspects of their identity.
