Commanders should honor Montana’s Wetzel family, Native American heritage

[Editor’s note: Sen. Steve Daines, R-Montana, delivered the following remarks at Wednesday’s Senate National Parks subcommittee hearing.]
At today’s hearing we also have H.R.4984, the D.C. Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus Revitalization Act. This bill transfers the administration over RFK Memorial Stadium Campus from the Park Service to the District of Columbia for 99 years. The purpose of this transfer is for the development of a new stadium as well as other commercial and residential development.
Now, you may ask why a Montana Senator has a specific interest in this bill. Today is about righting a wrong. Specifically, my goal is for the Washington Commanders to honor the pride, history and heritage of the Blackfeet Tribe who are my constituents in Montana for the tribe’s contributions to the team’s legacy.
