Eigamoiya, in white, with her husband and people.

Eigamoiya (1860-1915) was a queen consort of Nauru, and the aunt of King Aweida. King Aweiyida was the son of Chief Jim, the latter being the son of a warrior named Aweui of the Eoaru tribe.

Eigamoiya and Jim shared the same father but different mothers. Eigamoiya's mother was a truly respected queen of Nauru; her name was Eomien. She was also named Iquen (for Queen) by early visitors.
