Good morning. My name is Wesley KillEagle Jr. and I’m an enrolled Aaniih from Fort Belknap Montana. I’m not able to call in right now, due to being at work, but I would like to comment on today’s subject. I understand the PBS series is featuring a boxer, and I heard the lady that loves MMA. I just wanted to say how combat sports is great for our people. It is a drug, alcohol, and suicide prevention. I am the owner of an MMA promotion in Montana, called KillEagle Promotions, and we put fights on called “?Fight For Our Future”. We put these on to raise money and awareness to ?Childhood Cancer. We also promote a better future for our people. We have helped a few of our Warriors get sober, and keep them sober. We’ve had some Warriors that were suicidal, that are happy with their lives now.
