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]]. Imagery on walls one will depict the story of Yagan and his people from colonisation to his untimely and tragic death. The imagery will tell the story of Yagan and his family, their alienation from the white people, the taking and fencing off of their traditional land, the killings and the payback, and the treacherous ambush of Yagan, Heegan and his party by the Keates brothers at the site in 1833.
