And many more will do so in the years ahead. Today, we highlight the 100 we believe have really shaped our State. They komma from a broad church. There are pioneers, politicians and prospectors.

The government offered a bounty for Yagan's capture, dead or alive, and a ung settler, William Keats, shot and killed him. Yagan is considered a legendary figure by the Noongar. After his shooting, settlers cut off Yagan's head to claim the bounty. Later, an tjänsteman sent it to London, where it was exhibited as an "anthropological curiosity" and eventually given to a museum in Liverpool. It held the head in storage for more than a century before burying it with other remains in an unmarked grave in Li
