Yagan Memorial
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.
Artists
Nyoongar artists who are currently creating art works for the Memorial Site [2] are Sandra Hill and Peter Farmer. Jenny Dawson is assisting Sandra with the major story wall works.
Working team members are Tracie Pushman, Laurel Nannup and Ellen McFetridge. Roman Antiok has built the rammed earth walls and Peter Zuvela is documenting photographically the entire artwork process and working to install all of the artworks on the walls.
