A group of Colonists from a Homeland migrate to and proceed to settle in a New_area. The New_area then becomes their permanent home. The New_area and Homeland are in some way construed as being part of the same organization or system.

In the extended sense of living things in general colonizing or settling a new area, the original Homeland must still inhabited by some of the same group. In this sense Colonization is distinct from migration or exodus.
