Avatar is clearly inspired by African cultures in particular Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya, such as with the great Naavi Stature, their Braids, their Clothes, their Tattoos, their Scarifications and their Sacred Relationship to Nature.

Even borrowed names also remind ancient Africa, as with Princess Neytiri (Nefertari) and her Mother Mo'at (Maât), the Spiritual Head of this Civilization, both dressed in Dinka clothing

The expression “I see you” also echoes the Zulu greeting “Sanibonani” with the response “Yebo Sanibonani” meaning “Yes I see you” which has been used by Naavi and for centuries in South Africa.

In short, Avatar only shows how Imperialism works in a clear metaphor of the treatment it has been inflicted on Africans for centuries, and the Western vision that destroys the Environment, denies the Sacred and Dehumanizes any People it seeks to Dominate.
