Historically, they lived in the Hatuqay Principality of Circassia and were known for their martial character, engaging in incessant wars. Hatuqay was marked on period maps with various names (Hatukai, Codioci, Gatyukai), including the 1787 map by Johann Anton Güldenstädt and the 1675 map by Frederik de Wit.
== Distribution == The Hatuqay tribe was originally located near the Black Sea coast, around the Taman peninsula, as well as the southern banks of the Kuban, a little further down from where the Afips (Афыпс) river flows. However, in the late 18th century, the Hatuqay Principality was relocated west of the Temirgoys, in the territory situated between the Belaya (Шъхьагуащэ) and Pshish (Пщыщ) rivers.
