We understand everything about your explanation regarding how the earth started, so please explain to us about how Pnar tribe came into being? Ok so you see, I have to go step by step. If I just jumble around it will not be systematic so let me go step by step until the story about Soo Kpoh. If you are not systematic you won’t get the story. So you see how the Pnar tribe came into being, the Pnar tribe came in their own different ways. So many ways, there are some people who came along with Ynñiaw Wasa from the beginning, there are some whom God sent to the earth through water, in the form of a fish.
