‘Thanks to new legislation in Albany, that protection is now in place. NY State Senator Tim Kennedy is the chairman of the State-Native Americans Relations Committee. He was one of the sponsors of Senate Bill S5701, the unmarked burial site protection act. Kennedy says that the legislation was not put in place specifically because of the stadium construction project, it merely puts a uniform process in place in the event that remains or artifacts are discovered during any project across New York. “Whenever there are remains of any kind found on any project, there is a need to address that. Now we have in place a way to for the remains to be dealt with in a respectful way and to ensure that the sacred site is taken into account.”‘
