(Department Of History, Faculty Of Arts, Nasarawa State University, Keffi., 2019-10-23) Dalat, Gershom Danglah
Being one of the elements which creates uniqueness and identity, culture, both concrete and abstract, material or otherwise, is indispensable. Being unknown (but real and existing), culture varies from one ethnic group to another. It is these existing difference which creates the curiosity and propels the desire to see and appreciate. Thus, every human society has one thing or another, by nature of its own unique identity to showcase. This, when exploited, can serve to attract populationsfrom far and near. This paper strongly believes that the Nyankpa (Yeskwa) of Panda area of Nasarawa State, possess very rich cultural artifacts which, when exploited and displayed, can attract patronage across boundaries. In this vein, a survey of specific cultural objects of such tourist potentials is considered necessary in this study. Oral tradition/ interview and approach existing written documents for comprehensive documentation were elicited in this study.
