    So if you spear someone in the back and kill them then you are a warrior. Please check you facts Yagan killed defenceless unarmed people not police or armed people not even in self defence he ambushed them that is why he was shot. Jimmy blacksmith killed 7 women and children and he is also a hero.
    Yagan, Midgigoroo and others followed some carts taking provisions to settlers on the Canning River, and savagely speared the drivers to death.http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/yagan-2826

    There are many places across WA named after Aboriginals so this is not a first. That said I think it's great we're starting to realise this country's history is far more rich than white convicts and goes back tens of thousands of years prior. When we start introducing the Aboriginal languages into our culture (As is done with the Maori language in NZ) then we will have taken a further step.
