Marauders observe Native American Heritage Month

Staff Sgt. Tyree Austin, 46th Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron, cleanses Airmen with sage smoke during a Native American Heritage Month observance ceremony here Nov. 5, 2014. The ritual, known as smudging, is meant to purify the body and dispel evil spirits. This year’s Native American Heritage Month theme is, “Native Pride and Spirit: Yesterday, Today and Forever,” and the observance promotes the value of Native American ancestry and traditions.
