The '''Yagan Memorial'''<ref>[http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/06/03/2916862.htm ABC News] Aboriginal Warrior's Final Resting Place</ref> is being created at the City of Swan to honour the memory of the son of Midgigoroo and Moyran. Yagan was a very important representative of the Beeliar people who was instrumental in trying to forge good working relations with the first white settlers of the Swan River Colony in [[Australia]].

== Entry Statement to the Site by Sandra Hill==
The work we envisage will require several rammed earth curved walls to be fabricated at the beginning of the pathway leading into the Memorial site. The work will feature a visual timeline etched into clay tablets that meander along the full length of the walls, they will be reminiscent of the ''Waugal'' moving in and out of the land as well as a connecting feature for the Burial Site. The walls, will gradually grade down until they disappear back into the earth. There are several gaps within the length of the walls; these are intended to break up the space comfortably and also as a preventative response to people climbing onto the higher walls within the space.
