Revision as of 07:07, 14 June 2010 by Peter Z. (talk | contribs) (page arrangement/Category:Arts/added ref)

The Yagan Memorial[1] 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.
