Alas Poor Yagan
''Alas Poor Yagan'' is an editorial cartoon, drawn by Dean Alston and published in ''The West Australian'' newspaper on 6 September 1997. It consists of a panel of eight drawings of Indigenous Australian activist Ken Colbung speaking to a group of three Indigenous Australian children.〔Alston, Dean (1997). ''Alas, Poor Yagan''. ''The West Australian'', 6 September 1997.〕 The cartoon's content offended many Indigenous Australians, and resulted in a complaint of racism to the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission. The commission eventually ruled that the cartoon made inappropriate references to Nyungar beliefs but did not breach the Racial Discrimination Act 1975. This ruling was subsequently upheld on appeal to the Federal Court of Australia.
==Background==
(詳細はYagan's head from the United Kingdom. Yagan was a Nyungar warrior who resisted the European settlement of Western Australia. He was shot dead by a settler in 1833, and his head was removed and sent to the United Kingdom for display in a museum. In 1964, it was buried in an unmarked grave in a local cemetery. The Nyungar community began efforts to locate and repatriate the head in 1990. Yagan's head was finally exhumed in September 1997, but organisation of the handover "was accompanied by a degree of sometimes undignified acrimony over who had the appropriate cultural claims, by descent, to bring the remains back".〔Federal Court of Australia (2004). . 6 February 2004〕 These conflicts within the Nyungar community were publicly aired, and at one point even involved litigation in the Supreme Court of Western Australia.〔Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission (2001). ''Corunna v West Australian Newspapers (2001) EOC 93-146. 12 April 2001.〕
