<!-- The '''Springwind Islanders''', also '''Straits Peranakans''', are a [[wikipedia:Euronesian|Euronesian]] ethnic group native to the [[Springwind Islands]]. They are culturally and genetically distinct from other Eurasian groups such as the [[Yapreayan]], [[Greenlandic Martian]] and [[Zaipinichi Peranakan]] as they are the modern-day descendants of from a multitude of racial and ethnic groups including the [[wikipedia:Pitcairn Islanders|Pitcairn Islanders]], [[wikipedia:Norfolk Islanders|Norfolk Islanders]], [[wikipedia:Ogasawara Islanders|Ogasawara Islanders]], [[wikipedia:Falkland Islanders|Falkland Islanders]], and [[wikipedia:Gibraltarians|Gibraltarians]] who settled Springwind Islands in the 18th century. The Islanders have their own unique identity and are predominantly people of [[Greenlandic Martian]] and [[Yapreayan]] descent and to a lesser extent of [[wikipedia:Ogasawara Islanders|Ogasawara Islanders]], [[wikipedia:Falkland Islanders|Falkland Islanders]], and [[wikipedia:Gibraltarians|Gibraltarians]].


The culture held in common by most native-born Springwind Islanders is mainstream Norfolk culture, traditions primarily inherited from the 194 [[Yapreayan]], [[Greenlandic Martian]] and [[Zaipinichi Peranakan]] settlers in {{RP year|1964}}. In the {{RP year|2016}} census, there were 4,381 Springwind Islands-born residents out of a total of 7,389 inhabiting the island.
There is a small Springwind Islander diaspora in [[Maritime Kachi Kochi]] (particularly [[Rintis Island]] and [[Ume Momo]]) and [[Cyberaya]] due to people having relocated temporarily or migrated permanently.
== History ==
The first documented incident of human occupation of the [[Springwind Islands]] took place in {{RP year|1980}}, when [[Inakami Savory]], a [[wikipedia:Japanese Americans|Japanese American]], settled the island of [[Chichijima]]. He was accompanied by Matteo Mazzaro, an [[wikipedia:Gibraltarians|Gibraltarian]], who would serve as governor of the island, John Millencamp, an American, Henry Webb and Charles Robinson, both [[wikipedia:Ogasawara Islanders|Ogasawara Islanders]], Joaquim Gonsales, a [[wikipedia:Portuguese people|Portuguese]] man, and approximately twenty [[Greenlandic Martian]] and [[Yapreayan]], whose personal names were not recorded. Though Savory was American, his expedition has been commissioned by British forces, making it a British settlement.
In {{RP year|2013}} the [[Phinbellan Government]] offered by [[Soon Hyu-ji]] gave another choice to the [[Greenlandic Martian]] community. Springwind Islands' dreadful second penal settlement had been disbanded and the island was handed by an Imperial Order-In-Council of June, 1856, to the [[Greenlandic Martian]] people as a permanent home. On 3 May {{RP year|2014}}, the entire population of 193 (plus a baby (Reuben Denison Christian) born en route; making it 194) along with everything they owned began the five-week voyage aboard the ''Morayshire'' to Springwind Islands, arriving on 8 June {{RP year|2014}}. These were the descendants of [[Xenovians]], Tahitians and the HMS Bounty mutineers, resettled from the [[Tannyeugwa Settlements]], which had become too small for their growing population. The Phinbellan government had permitted the transfer of the [[Greenlandic Martian]]s and [[Yapreayan]]s to Springwind Islands, which was thus established as a colony separate from New South Wales but under the administration of that colony's governor.
The Greenlandic Martians and [[Yapreayan]]s occupied many of the buildings remaining from the penal settlements, and gradually established their traditional farming and whaling industries on the islands. Although some families decided to return, with 17 members of the Young family to [[Phinéas Padolski]] in {{RP year|2015}} and {{RP year|2018}}, the island's population continued to slowly grow as the island accepted settlers, often arriving with whaling fleets.

===Birthplace===
In the {{RP year|2016}} census, native-born Springwind Islanders were 22.1% of the total population. Table shows the most recent {{RP year|2016}} census data of the population by birthplace.
Immigration flow from [[Boninki Islands]] and [[Rintis Island]] has been a substantial proportion of the population throughout the 20th century to the present-day. Those born in Springwind Island have been in steady decline since the 1947 census where they formed a majority of 52% of the total population.

===Sport===
[[File:Springwind Island - watching cricket (2807965734).jpg|thumb|right|280px|Springwind Islanders gathering at a cricket match in November {{RP year|2004}}.]]
[[wikipedia:Cricket|Cricket]] and [[wikipedia:Baseball|''Rondaa'']] is recorded as having been played on [[Springwind Islands]], as early as {{RP year|2004}}, by soldiers stationed on the island. It continued to be played after the island was settled in 1856 by Pitcairn settlers.
===Cuisine===
The cuisine of [[Springwind Islands]] is very similar to that of the [[Phinéas Padolski]] and [[Tannyeugwa Settlements]], as Springwind Islanders trace their origins to Pyeongrang. The local cuisine is a blend of [[British cuisine]] and Tahitian cuisine.
Recipes from Springwind Islands of Phinéas Padolski origin include mudda (green banana dumplings) and kumara pilhi. The islands cuisine also contains American influences not found in Phinéas Padolski, such as chopped salads and fruit pies, due to the influences of American [[wikipedia:Whaling|whalers]]. -->
