SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE. 
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following: 
(1) In the late 19th century and early 20th cen-
tury, African-American troops who came to be 
known as the Buffalo Soldiers served in many crit-
ical roles in the western United States, including 
protecting some of the first National Parks. 
(2) Based at the Presidio in San Francisco, 
Buffalo Soldiers were assigned to Sequoia and Yo-
semite National Parks where they patrolled the 
backcountry, built trails, stopped poaching, and oth-
erwise served in the roles later assumed by National 
Park rangers. 
(3) The public would benefit from having op-
portunities to learn more about the Buffalo Soldiers 
in the National Parks and their contributions to the 
management of National Parks and the legacy of Af-
rican-Americans in the post-Civil War era. 
(4) As the centennial of the National Park 
Service in 2016 approaches, it is an especially ap-
propriate time to conduct research and increase pub-
lic awareness of the stewardship role the Buffalo 
Soldiers played in the early years of the National 
Parks. 
(b) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this Act is to author-
ize a study to determine the most effective ways to in-
