Life

In 1924, a dispute between Ibedul Tem and the Tucherur, head of the Terekieu clan, resulted in the Idid clan dispossessing the Terekieu clan's lands and many members of Terekieu clan fleeing to Aimeliik. Tem took the title of Tucherur for himself.{{Cite web|url=http://www.palausupremecourt.net/doc/NeutralCitations/2016/2016%20Palau%2027.pdf|date=December 5, 2016|title=Ngaremeketii/Rubekul Kldeu, Terekieu Clan and Jonathan Ngiremekur Sked, represented by Miriam Kual Appellants vs. Koror State Public Lands Authority, Appellee|access-date=December 30, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231230122318/http://www.palausupremecourt.net/doc/NeutralCitations/2016/2016%20Palau%2027.pdf|archive-date=December 30, 2023|url-status=live|website=www.palausupremecourt.net}}
