Naka and Nebele are the creator-deities of the Sonjo people of Tanzania. Nebele came first and created his sister, Nebele. Nebele then created all things – except human beings. Naka was jealous of her accomplishments, and said she was but a woman, and therefore was his property. He attempted to brand Nebele like an animal, but she understandably became angry and frightened, and fled to another world. According to the Sonjo she has yet to return.
Now alone in the world, Naka then created a man and a woman. Eventually, their children filled the earth with the people we know today.
