Wounded Knee Massacre Memorial and Sacred Site Act

This bill transfers approximately 40 acres of land at the Wounded Knee Massacre site (December 29, 1890) to the Oglala Sioux Tribe and Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe in "restricted fee status." The Secretary of the Interior must complete all legal actions within 365 days to hold this land under tribal ownership, with protections against sale, state taxation, or loss of tribal jurisdiction. The land must be used solely for memorial/sacred purposes as outlined in a 2022 tribal covenant, prohibiting gaming activities. It directly affects these tribes and preserves a historically significant site tied to the 1890 massacre.
