Inhabitation of the Island
Through archeological evidence, the original Mahuii Tribe (Ethnic Group of the Phagosians) are assumed to have originated from the island of Ocotlan over thousands of years ago. It is speculated that between the years 800 - 900 B.A., the Mahuii's began a mass exodus into the Phagosian Sea, bringing with them multiple settlements among the region. Native to the Phagosian-Sphere, navigation and permanent settlement were and still are a necessity for the natives of the region. It is believed that shortly after the mass migration into the Phagosian Sea, a small settlement was established on the western part of the island, named the "Mahui" settlement. As the Mahuii's permanently settled in the region, mostly on Mahui island, the wealth and population grew tremendously throughout the years, managing to become the trade capital of the Phagosian Sea.

Religion and Culture
The Mahuii people are a proud and ancient Phagosian culture, known for their rich traditions and deep connection to the sea. Their culture is deeply rooted in the traditions of their ancestors, and they take great pride in preserving and passing on these traditions to future generations.

They are expert seafarers, skilled in navigating the treacherous waters that surround their island home. They have developed a deep respect for the sea and its inhabitants, and they believe that it is their duty to protect and preserve this precious resource.

The arts are highly valued in Mahuii culture, with a particular focus on textiles and pottery. They use natural materials like clay, fibers, and dyes to create intricate and beautiful pieces that reflect their connection to the land and sea.

The Moìit is the head administrative director of the Mahuii Islands and its territories.
