Sky People

Sky people

Sky people is the name given to the humans that lived on the ark. They are given the name by the grounders because they lived in space, however, it is not only the grounders that know that some humans had fled Earth 97 years ago, this is shown in season 2 episode 4: Many Happy Returns when Jaha is taken care of by a family of three who eventually betray him so that they can get a horse and reach "the city of lights". The woman remarks: "there is a bounty on sky people" so it is unlikely that it was the wood clan that came up with the name. The more probable explanation is that the name was given soon after the nuclear apocalypse and has been passed down ever since.
