=== Human Migration and the Boiyende ===
=== Human Migration and the Tuzquão ===


When humans migrated to the area, they eventually became known as the [[Boiyende]]. Over generations, the Mifajene were slowly displaced as the Boiyende continued to spread out across the land. As the Boiyende grew in strength, the oppression of the Mifajene continued, resulting in the creation of a large reservation in the north-west.
