Aboriginal Martians

The Aboriginal Martians, or Qillpùtpitut, are a species of nomadic creatures that inhabit the Martian north pole since time immemorial. They are quite reserved and kind of weird. Since they do not build any larger structures than Igloos, they have been undetected by pre-invasion human civilisation. They tend to place very little value on material possessions and can be difficult to be made to relate on practical matters. Qillpùtpitut are very knowledgeable about the inner workings of the red planet on a spiritual level, though they're not great at explaining.

They are by far the oddest sentient mortals in the solar system. Their oral cavity is sufficiently different from Martianoids and many other common species that the sounds in their language cannot be accurately fully reproduced by outsiders, though they can be approximated. Their strange language Qillpùtqllupktit reflects their different mindset.
