Aftermath
Later that year, Yagan's head was handed over to a delegation of Noongars, who took it back to Australia. Reburial of the head has been delayed, however, due to uncertainty of the whereabouts of the rest of his body and disagreement by elders about the importance of burying the head with the body. They finally buried it in July 2010, in a traditional Noongar ceremony in the Swan Valley in Western Australia, 177 years after Yagan's death.
