===Early History===
[[File:Rodokan migration.png|thumb|left|300px|A map showing the route of the Rodokan Migration.]]
It is widely accepted that the island was uninhabited when the Rodokan people reached it some time between 900 CE and 1000 CE. However, centuries prior to the Rodokan arrival, the island had been settled by colonists from the Ietracian city-states of Sartos and Maridea. Ietracian settlers established two known cities: Oía on the northern branch of the island and Lébtis on the south. These settlements were abandoned in the early centuries of the first millennium, but ruins remained standing some eight centuries later when the Rodokans arrived. The two largest cities on Rodoka, the Rodokan capital of Sinajärv and Lantaž, capital of Tavari Rodoka, were built on the site of former Ietracian settlements. Ruins in Sinajärv in particular are well preserved, while most Ietracian stuctures in Lantaž were deconstructed for their stone and other materials during the construction of the initial Tavari settlement.
While some scant evidence of prehistorical habitation has been found on Rodoka, it is widely accepted that the island was uninhabited when the Rodokan people reached it some time between 900 CE and 1000 CE. The Rodokans trace their origins to [[Mexregiona]], in particular to the emigration of a group known as "dög-rokon," a Regic language term meaning "carrion-kindred." The dög-rokon were exiled by King Mekki, the first King of Mexregiona, for opposing his reign and remaining loyal to their previous religion centered around the worship of a whale deity. Evidence shows that they reached the area that is today [[Benesuolo]] somewhere between 600 BCE and 300 BCE, and then [[Vesienväl]] in the 1st century CE. In Vesienväl, now using the name "Rodokans" for the first time, they adopted the Vällic language before continuing southward. The Rodokan language, along with modern Vesienvällic, is a descendant of Vällic, which is itself descended from [[Asendavia|Asendavian]] and the other Gliat Shean languages. Oral tradition among the Rodokans gives the name Vaimsaar, meaning "Island of Ghosts," to the island now occupied by [[Meagharia]], indicating they had some familiarity with it. The Rodokans are known to have been a very ocean-oriented culture and are believed to have been somewhat nomadic before they settled on the island of Rodoka, which they named after themselves.▼

===Pre-Independence===
Prior to independence, Rodoka was governed as a Tavari province (from 2020) or as an unprovinced territory (prior to 2020). Under both systems, however, as required under the Treaty of Sinajärv, there existed reserved land for Native Rodokans which was governed by a body known as the Rodokan Native Tribal Administration (RNTA), which is composed of elected representatives from the various tribes. The RNTA was established in 1992 as a legal successor body to the various tribes, who agreed to pool their resources and governance together. While the King of Tavaris held the title of High Chief, the Administration elected from among its membership a Presiding Chief, who along with a Tribal Council was the executive of the Administration. The Administration largely held the same authority in governance over its territory as a Tavari province would, and this was the case even before Rodoka itself became a province. The Treaty of Sinajärv, which was rendered obsolete by the Ranat Accords, could only be amended by mutual agreement of the Administration and the Tavari government, a process which was undertaken to establish the RNTA in 1992. The RNTA governed all public land within the reservation, regulated businesses, construction, and infrastructure, and could set a local income tax and a local VAT on goods and services. The national Tavari VAT was not charged inside the reservation, but the national income tax was - except it was reduced by the income tax rate charged by the RNTA, so that Native Rodokans paid the same total income tax rate as other Tavari
