From Beaujard’s (1983b:35-49) account of Tañala migration stories it would seem that Andriamaroary’s own ancestors were immigrants to the region in the north named Manambondro. In the shape of Andriamaroary and his followers these people moved on again, migrating south until they settled on the island of Antokonosy and named the river in which it stood after that from which they had come. More recently still, this migratory process has occurred once more. In the wake of a violent encounter in 1904 between colonial forces and Temanambondro insurgents that marked the end of an uprising against French colonial rule, a number of people from villages on the lower Manambondro and Isandra Rivers left their lands and fled south, finally settling some 150 km away, a little to the west of the town of Fort Dauphin.
