Due to a variety of factors- including luck, relative political unity, location, and a lack of desired commodities in comparison to other areas of Yeongju such as Nochtlico- Hachuabsh managed to avoid colonization by the Sinju powers.

Prehistory and Antiquity
Hachuabsh is likely to have been inhabited by as early as 125,000 years ago. were present in the area by 10,000 BCE after the end of the last.

Evidence has established that a small settlement at S’abš in the Sduhubš river estuary has existed since at least 3,000 BCE. The first inhabitants of the central Hachuabshi coast were. Early Hachuabshis sustained themselves through ; primarily of salmon from rivers and the ocean. The Hachuabshi exploited spring through the use of intricate stukwalukw, or. , and other marine invertebrates gathered from  and  hunted in thick  covering the region were important supplements to the fish-heavy diet of the early Hachuabshis.



Throughout this period the Hachuabshis started using during late summer and early autumn to maintain lowland prairies and grassland for harvesting economically significant plants; especially camas,, and. Later on, these practices would become more commonplace and standardized as cultivation of and  was slowly introduced to Hachuabsh throughout the first and second millennium BCE.

By 800 CE the Hachuabshis had established a network of interconnected villages and settlements throughout the, and island chains of central and northern Hachuabsh, as well as the northern coast of Hweshed. Widespread usage of ocean-going built from  allowed for the development of sea-based trade and warfare. Hachuabshi records indicate that some trade expeditions, usually sponsored by rich households in a village, reached as far as Kealakekua.

Qwa Confederacy
From the 13th century until the early 19th century coastal Hachuabsh was slowly consolidated under a tight-knit confederacy of clans known as the “Qwa clique” centered around the modern city of Túlq at the mouth of the Hibulb river. The Qwa’s expansion throughout this period drew it into multiple conflicts with its rich neighbor(s) to the northwest (Illahee) whom were eventually conquered and incorporated into the budding empire. This resulted in the spread of Hwulshucid (North & South Puget Sound Lushootseed) from the central coast of Hachuabsh, which became the informal lingua franca of the region.

Imperial Hachuabsh


In 1864 Hokan invaded Hweshed off the southern Hachuabshi coast in order to gain direct control over the island’s rich whaling waters. The quick nature of their defeat shocked Qwa elites and underscored the growing military superiority of the industrialized Sinju powers. Several unequal treaties were forced upon the Qwa at the end of the war, opening up the country to exports from the Sinju countries, devastating local cottage industries and the wider Habchuaschi economy.

The chaotic and revolutionary environment following the war allowed reformist factions to gain control over the ruling clique of clans in Túlq. In the ensuing years massive institutional reforms were undertaken, beginning with the abolition of slavery and the gradual transition from a lineage and clan-based land ownership system to a Sinju model of private ownership.

By 1867 the reformists had achieved a major coup by completely abolishing the clan/confederacy political structure, establishing a centralized state which was to be organized largely along the lines of the modern Sinju empires (and ruled by the reformists as oligarchs). This drastic move sparked discontent among the rich and powerful clans of modern-day Illahee, where a rebellion was defeated in 1868 by a newly established central army.
