The origin or “hearth” of the Early Kuduk peoples is believed to be near the modern day village of Chagu Táak. The name given to the region historians believe act as the point of origin for the migrations is the Chagu region, which spans from the Yevak-Manirak border to the village of Hochigo. Ever since the mid 20th century, archaeologists have agreed that the Chagu region had been inhabited by the same peoples who originally settled Kuduk in from 3300 BCE to date. Just before the beginning of the second millennium, the Chagu region had a dense network of cultures and villages that interacted one another and encouraged expansion outward. Early explorers that traveled to eastern Sagut found expansive plains and large forests which many archaeologists agree was likely the cause of the halting of any further expansion for a few millennia. Advancements in nautical technology, most notably the refinement of a previous invention, the kayak, allowed for the early eastern plains people to sail across the [[Middle Lake]] of Kuduk and into the region of Central Kakut between 2900 and 2700 BCE. Early settlers found Kakut to be predominantly forested in a similar manner to far eastern Sagut.

Around the midpoint of the second millennium (2500-2300 BCE), expansion continued across the ocean, made possible by the kayak, and into Northern Heiki. The people who settled in northern Heiki found the area to be heavily mountainous and forested, a stark contrast to the Great Plains. Many archaeologists theorize that the reason expansion to Southern Heiki took so long was because the terrain of Heiki proved to be difficult to settle in. Today, many accept that theory as true to explain the lack of any anthropological evidence in South Heiki older than 1800 BCE.
