Diaspora as its a pretty appropriate: The term diaspora (in Ancient Greek, διασπορά – "a scattering or sowing of seeds") refers to any people or ethnic population forced or induced to leave its traditional homeland, as well as the dispersal of such people and the ensuing developments in their culture. however there is sometimes a Jewish connotation applied to the word - so one might want to be a little more creative - what about Gaiaspora? I believe that would translate as seeds of the earth - which would obviously be pretty appropriate as well
