==Biography== left|thumb|King Aweida standing in the middle before a flag of German Imperial Colonial Office. Aweida was born Aweijeda in 1850(?) at Boe, Nauru. Before Nauru came under European rule, it was governed by a head chief who made laws that were enforced by local chiefs. After his father's death in 1911, he gained the title of head chief and would hold the title until his death.
