Oral traditions confirm the accounts in the Quoia document of people moving into the forest of present-day Liberia.
A careful comparison of traditions from different ethnic groups provides an outline of the basic order in which various groups moved.
Fortunately, several early European documents provide rough dates for when these movements occurred. They would have been sometime between the Mane invasion around 1560 and well before 1651.
