Liverpool became the focus of one man's battle to reclaim the head of a long dead ancestor after it was discovered to have been buried in a cemetery in the city.
Back in 1997, Aborigine leader Ken Colbung flew to Britain to plead for the return of his ancestor's decapitated head. The head belonged to an Aborigine warrior leader called Yagan who was shot dead by a bounty hunter in 1833.
Yagan led the resistance of indigenous people to European settlers in Australia. Following Yagan's death, his head was taken as trophy and had ended up at Liverpool Museum before being relocated to Everton Cemetery in 1964.
