===First human settlement===

Based on archaeological evidence, the earliest habitation of the Saukhin Islands appears to date between 100 and 200 CE. It is believed that the first wave originated from the [[Vallos]] subcontinent, primarily from modern-day [[Takatta Loa]] and [[Almadaria]]. The second wave occurred two hundred years earlier, from 400 CE to 600 CE, and consisted of settlers from [[Audonia]] and [[~~Crona|~~South Crona]]. The topic of settlement date is somewhat debated throughout the archeological community, as many also believe the first settlers of the islands to originate from the neighboring [[Truk|Truk islands]], and while there has been evidence of native Truk peoples migrating to the Saukhins during that time period, it was not enough to connect the various large communities built within the islands. For the first few centuries of the archipelago's inhabitance, there was no sole governing body throughout the islands. Instead, the islands were dominated by smaller fishing communities, often with a population of about 150 for the largest communities. These communities would evolve into small [[w:Chiefdom|chiefdoms]], in which said chiefdoms would then grow to encompass entire islands. Local chiefs, who were called opili'i, ruled their settlements, often with the ultimate goal of serving their communities. They would launch small but significant wars to extend their influence and defend their communities from predatory rivals, often other Polynesian chiefdoms who sought to invade for the purpose of draining resources or power projection. Ancient Tapkoii was a caste-based society, with complex systems of hierarchies being the sole distributor of power throughout the chiefdoms. Population growth was facilitated by complex ecological and agricultural practices that combined upland agriculture, deep ocean fishing, gardening systems, and complex fish husbandry systems. These systems were upheld by spiritual and religious beliefs, mostly the island religion of Tuhauata, that linked the cultural continuity with the upkeep of natural health.
