===Early population movements=== The Bakweri likely migrated to their present home east of the mountain in the mid-18th century. From the foothills, they gradually spread to the coast, and up the [[Mungo River, Cameroon|Mungo River]] and the various creeks that empty into it. In the process, they founded numerous villages, usually when individual families groups split off.<ref name="Fanso 50">Fanso 50.</ref> A rival Bakweri tradition says they descend from [[Mokuri a Mbedi|Mokuri]] or Mokule, a brother of the Duala's forebear [[Ewale a Mbedi|Ewale]], who migrated to the Mount Cameroon area for hunting.<ref>Ngoh 27.</ref> In addition, a few isolated villages, such as Maumu and Bojongo, claim some alternate descent and may represent earlier groups whom the expanding Bakweri absorbed.<ref name="Fanso 50"/>
