B-Roll: U.S. Marines, families of fallen, ADF participate in Tiwi Island and Larrakia people healing ceremony in Darwin

Marine Rotational Force - Darwin

Sept. 26, 2024 | 4:50

U.S. Marines, families of the fallen, and members of the Australian Defence Force participate in a healing ceremony hosted by the Tiwi Island-Mantiyupwi clan, in collaboration with the Larrakia Nation Aboriginal Corporation, in preparation for a Pukumani ceremony in Darwin, NT, Australia, Sept. 26, 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 video by Cpl. Manuel Rivera)
