The Kekunan are a Na'vi clan. Little is yet known about their way of life, but they are considered to have a greater skill at banshee riding than any other clan. They are known for their fast reflexes, cool composure and courageous heart that are all required to tame such a beast.
Culture[]
A couple members of the clan.
The Kekunan are excellent aerial hunters, often doing so hundreds of meters off the ground.[1]
They wear bright, boisterous colors, which is symbolic of their tribute and confidence with the creatures that sustain their way of life.[2] The Kekunan love nothing more than to leap and dance from one floating mountain to another and urge their Kekunan brothers and sisters to further feats of daring. A Pandoran Research Foundation personality quiz highlights their notable traits as being daring, athletic, impulsive and fearless.[3]
Their children begin learning the skills behind banshee riding at a very early age, using toy banshees as educational tools to demonstrate physics and maneuvers. The Banshee Catcher, used by other clans including the Omatikaya, has its origins in Kekunan legend, as an invention of the first banshee rider Taronyu.
History[]
Toruk - The First Flight[]
The Kekunan clan was also one of the few clans involved in the time of the first Toruk Makto. The arrival of Entu, Ralu and Tsyal to the clan, they showed the chief the Toruk talisman and that they are in search of artifacts necessary to tame the Great Leonopteryx, being the only clan that believes in the prophecy, he gave the young men a horseman's mask and decided to help them locate the Toruk by taking them to the Hallelujah Mountains where it lives.
When lava began to destroy the sacred Tree of Souls, the Kekunan joined the other clans to help save the tree.

Trivia[]
- While the existence of the clan was not unveiled until mid 2015, Kekunan craftsmanship was present as early as the first film in the form of clothing and other items used by the Omatikaya Clan. Notably, the battle band worn by Jake Sully during the Assault on the Tree of Souls was of Kekunan origin.

Like the rest of Clan Kekunan, your ability to leap into the great unknown, grasping the sides of the sheerest mountains and braving the winds and waves to make tsaheylu with the beautiful and dangerous Ikran, is unparalleled by any other Na’vi clan. You love nothing more than to leap and dance from one floating mountain to another and urge your Kekunan brothers and sisters to further feats of daring."
