Pacific Islanders primarily consist of two major ethnic groups: Polynesians and Melanesians, along with Micronesians. Polynesians inhabit islands like Hawaii, New Zealand, and Samoa; Melanesians are found in countries such as Fiji, Papua New Guinea, and Solomon Islands; and Micronesians reside in areas like the Federated States of Micronesia and Palau. These groups share cultural and linguistic ties, but each also has distinct identities and traditions.
