The Pascua Yaqui Tribe's flag will be added to the Pima County, Arizona, administrative building during a special ceremony on Wednesday.
The tribe's flag is the only one missing from the county display. It will join flags representing Spain, Mexico, the United States, Arizona and the Tohono O'odham Nation, the other Tucscon-area tribe.
The tribe symbolizes the tribe's traditional and Catholic faiths. The tribe gained federal recognition in 1978.
