Polynesian Diaspora

The Polynesian Diaspora was established in Mars in the 2070s through the repeated lobbying efforts of mostly-Polynesian islands in the Pacific whose entire nations were lost during the inundation. Through a collective act of humanity (though occurring decades after the initial loss of their homes), other nations established a large colony on Mars for the Polynesian Diaspora. The settlement of Ka-poe-holo took place after a decade of planning and training the first pioneers. Individual island cultures have mostly been subsumed into a more generic Polynesian culture, and the Polynesians have become far-ranging traders on Mars, searching out new mining deposits and facilitating commerce and exchange of resources between the relatively sparse and suspicious Martian colonies. The Polynesians are trusted by all, and feared by none, as they exist on a very thin margin and have no material support from Earth whatsoever.
