The phosphate industry was built on Nauruan land but largely by foreign labor. Chinese, Gilbertese, and Tuvaluan workers mined the rock while Nauruans received royalties. The workers' quarters were segregated. On this day, the descendants of those workers : many still living on Nauru : are remembered. The phosphate made billions, but the hands that mined it were never Nauruan.
