The Springwind Islanders, also Straits Peranakans, are a 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 Pitcairn Islanders, Norfolk Islanders, Ogasawara Islanders, Falkland Islanders, and 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 Ogasawara Islanders, Falkland Islanders, and 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 -40BP. In the RP 2612 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.
