There was a time in which the land became infertile that it could not grow a single plant to produce food.
Ponompuan willingly accepted his father's demand, and she was determined to save her people from the famine.
She told her father, My body will give rise to all sorts of edible plants to feed the people.
It was said that after the resurrection of Huminodun, from the original Bambarayon, the lifestyle of the Nunuk Ragang community as they were then known, began to improve as there was an abundant supply of food.
The legend goes on to narrate that the spirit of Huminodun founded the Bobolians as they were taught the art of rites, ritual practices and ceremonies, taboos, traditional cultures including the art of gong-beating and the Sumazau dance.
