U.S. Marines with Marine Rotational Force–Darwin 24.3 participate in a cleansing ceremony hosted by the Tiwi Island and Larrakia people in preparation for a Pukumani ceremony at Royal Australian Air Force Base Darwin, NT, Australia, Sept. 24, 2024. U.S. Marines were honored by the Tiwi Island and Larrakia people during the week leading up to two culturally significant ceremonies: a healing ceremony and a Pukumani ceremony. These ceremonies commemorated the three U.S. Marines who tragically lost their lives in a U.S. Marine Corps MV-22B Osprey crash on Melville Island on Aug. 27, 2023. The healing ceremony, led by the Tiwi people, marked the official end of mourning and included a traditional smoking ceremony. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Earik Barton)
