Yagan's body was buried on the site where he was killed and his Kaat was taken as a trophy to England. Since the early 's, a number of Nyoongar groups sought the return of Yagan's Kaat, however after years it was finally brought back to Australia for burial in accordance with Nyoongar custom.
Now that the Kaat is respectfully laid to rest, Yagan's spirit is set free to continue on its eternal journey. We know now that there's been other Aboriginal skeletal remains brought back.
I even know that the native Americans brought back skeletal remains to their country. They're very grateful that we did that an opened up the pathway. We know that Samoans, Maoris and people of other different nationalities are bringing back the remains, skeletal remains of their loved ones, or their warriors or their females. After Yagan's head was brought back to Western Australia, it would be three years before this memorial park was established and the Noongar community agreed about what to do with the head.
Laughter "Well, I shouldn't laugh, but we kept it at the Aboriginal Medical Service for maybe 12 months. They said we've got to move it from there because people are trying to break in. They're trying to get the skull out and he said that nighttime, when they're doing night surgery, they could hear people walking on the roof and there was nobody there.
They started to think that the spirits were walking, theespirits of the other Noongar people, were trying to retrieve it and bring it back. See they wanted to reunite it. Mr Wilkes often visited the box and using the limited Noongar language he knew explained to Yagan that they were trying to find him a resting place. The park's opening was attended by the Premier Colin Barnett who said it was another step towards reconciliation.
In the early hours of a cold winter's morning in July , Mr Wilkes came back to the park after the previous day's opening ceremony. And he sat up on the tree there in one place and it's very hard for an eagle to hover in one place, they usually float in a circle, but he was hovering in one place on top of that tree there. And then I said 'look there, look there. That's what I was looking for.
I know that it's been done. That it's complete. And he pulled up just in front of us and then he did the same thing - he hovered again by flapping his wings and looked down on us and then folded his wings and he went around in a circle again and then he come down towards us and he whistled and he went down towards - guess where it was?
Down to the Swan River and he glided all the way and he was headed back to Perth. And the settlers saw this and knew in their minds that he possessed a bigger threat than what the chiefs did if he was to call the warriors together to come against the settlers at that time.
In their newly formed takeover of the land at that time and they were probably at their weakest because the 63rd regiment wasn't manned up as good as what it could have been. Yagan was accused of murdering brothers Tom and John Velvick who allegedly raped an Aboriginal woman that may have been Yagan's sister according to Richard Wilkes.
Two months later, the Keates brothers, teenagers, shot Yagan in the back in a move that was widely condemned by the colony. When he was head was returned to the area, even though the exact location of his body is not known, it seems the wrong was righted. Richard Wilkes says the park is now a spiritual place and one that can be enjoyed by Indigenous and non-Indigenous people alike.
