The tree is honeycombed with natural hollows and alcoves in which the Na'vi sleep, eat, weave, dance and celebrate their connection to Eywa. Like many sacred sites on Pandora, the ruins of the Omaticayan Hometree sits above a large deposit of unobtanium. Hometrees are generally described as being more than a hundred meters tall, with a hollow base supported by mangrove-like roots.
Within this base there are many columns, creating a large central area. In this central area the branches and limbs of the tree form a natural spiral staircase, which the Na'vi use to move up and down the tree.
The name Hometree is misleading, as the structure is actually comprised of a grove of intertwined trees of the same species that have grown together, providing for mutual strength and structural reinforcement. This, coupled with Pandora's low gravity, is what accounts for the immense height of Hometree. The Omaticaya revere this quality of Hometree as a constant reminder that a community is stronger and more resilient than the sum of the individuals who comprise.
Once the tree has been properly constructed to serve as a home for the clan, it is then decorated with a plethora of Na'vi related imagery and culture, including that of Eywa and animals. Much of which can be found whittled into the overlarged roots.
It has yet to be known whether or not a clan decides to leave a Hometree for whatever reason it may be as to date, the clan finds their hometree their origin much like a nation on Earth. The territory surrounding the Hometree can be widespread but normally depending whether there are other neighboring clans and the populace of the clan itself. As the rite of passage amongst the Omaticaya, young Omaticayan's earn the right to carve their bow from a branch from their Hometree.
As for the Tipani, once a young Tipanian has accomplished their own rite of passage, they are granted to construct a bow from a root, citing the root to be both flexible and durable. This, coupled with Pandora's low gravity, is what accounts for the immense height of Hometree.
The Omaticaya revere this quality of Hometree as a constant reminder that a community is stronger and more resilient than the sum of the individuals who comprise it.
The Omaticaya Hometree is a 10, year old ancestral home of the Omaticaya clan [1]. It is located in Sector 12, above a rich deposit of unobtanium, possibly one of the richest on the moon, putting the Na'vi in conflict with the RDA's interests due to the value of the mineral.
In Avatar , the Hometree of the Omaticaya clan was obliterated by the RDA's security forces using high explosive missiles, after driving the Na'vi out with tear gas, forcing the remaining inhabitants to relocate. Colonel Quaritch referred to it as "one big damn tree" before destroying it. During the attack and collapse of the tree, many of the Omaticaya were killed.
Over 20, years old, Hometree is the spiritual and physical home of the Tipani clan of the Na'vi. It is where they sleep and eat, learn and labor. The tree itself is over meters tall and its diameter is many times that of a giant sequoia.
Its interior is distinguished by a massive helical core and boasts multiple levels upon which the Na'vi communally craft and enact their rituals and customs.
The Tawkami clan also have their own Hometree, situated in the village of Greenhome. Unlike the Omaticaya, most of the clan actually live in caves and buildings around the base of the tree, rather than in the tree itself. Ni'awve clan Hometree is located in Valley of Origins.
The Hometree has only one entrance over a river that flows through the valley. Members of the clan live inside the tree. When humans advanced closer to the tree, Tsu'hak , the leader made a decision to move away with his clan. When the scouting party was attacked, the plan was abandoned. Avatar Wiki Explore.
