    Two members of the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians attach their tribal flag to be flown for the first time over land returned to the tribes by the Coast Guard at a ceremony held on the lighthouse grounds southwest of Coos Bay, Ore., Aug. 3, 2013. Two Coast Guard members lowered and removed the Coast Guard ensign, which was then replaced by the Confederated Tribal flag, during a ceremony where approximately 24 acres of land, including the Cape Arago Lighthouse, were transferred to the tribes.

    A formal signing ceremony is taking place outdoors, likely in a forested or coastal area with misty conditions. A uniformed military officer, appearing to be a U.S. Coast Guard captain or admiral, is signing a document at a table while two men in formal attire observe. One observer is wearing a traditional Native American beaded necklace, suggesting this may be a government-to-tribal agreement or memorandum of understanding.

    Two individuals are holding a framed triptych of black-and-white photographs at what appears to be an official ceremony. One person is wearing a military or Coast Guard dress uniform with a white officer's cap, while the other is dressed in civilian attire with a bolo tie and a traditional beaded necklace. The framed photographs appear to depict coastal scenes, with the top image captioned 'Cape Arago Light'.
    A white lighthouse with a red-roofed keeper's dwelling sits atop a rocky coastal headland, partially obscured by fog or marine layer. The structure is viewed from a distance through a natural frame of conifer trees and coastal scrub vegetation. The scene conveys a remote, overcast Pacific Northwest coastal environment.
