As told in the story of Joktan′s Journey On, Joktan, after having crossed the land bridge, journeyed across the entire new continent, and after having left the large lakes region, traveled eastward across the low plains below the High Mountains to the north, he then followed the Achgameu Sipu southward to where it would next cut through the eastern mountain. At his point, Joktan called for his sons to make camp and at this junction Joktan tells his four remaining sons that he will next be heading eastward across the mountain pass, then south into the coastal river valleys to find a place to settle.

Once everyone has set up their camps and when dark transcends upon the camp, they all come together and take their places at the council fire. Here, three of Joktan′s sons, Sheba, Uzal and Ophir tell their father Joktan that they will be continuing northward in search for their places to settle.

Jobad, however tells his father that since his wife is still with child, he will stay with his father so that he may be able to hold this grandson at least once before he departs to find his settlement.

Joktan decides to stay in this campsite here on the western side of the mountain range for the period of an entire moon, so that he has plenty of time visit with all of the family of the three sons who will soon be departing company.

Upon Joktan′s departure across the mountain, Sheba also departs with his family and travels north along the eastern side of the mountains, continues further north than his brother Ophir, and after some distance, he too, turns eastward through a mountain pass and continues until he finds a place that looks good to camp.

After some time, he increases in number in this area and his sons include the tribes of Abenaki, Mohican, Mahican and Sokoki. There are the several several sons of Sheba by their names and each came to be great chiefs of their own tribes.
