History
Noro is located within the Tirokiaba Land or Kingdom in time immemorial. Tirokiaba was the ancient home of the Kidu Tribe. Zalala in Lembu bay was used by the Kindu tribe to put canoes and war canoes (Tomoko). Before they went to Kohigo, the Kindu tribe settled at Muziboko now developed and commonly referred to as "Taiyo", the Tuna Cannery Factory also known as "Soltai". The Kindu Tribe has many tambu sites (sacrificial or worship sites) at Noro. The one located at Taiyo is a big black stone carved in a rectangular shape and placed on the hill at Taiyo. However, it was removed and or destroyed when the Japanese build Noro Cannery Factory.[citation needed]
