Wounded Knee Massacre Memorial and Sacred Site Act

This bill tells the Department of the Interior to put about 40 acres of land in South Dakota into a special ownership status for the Oglala Sioux Tribe and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe. Under this status, the tribes would own the land but the United States would restrict their ability to sell or transfer it. The land must be kept as a memorial and sacred site according to an agreement between the two tribes from October 2022. The bill does not allow commercial development or gaming on this land.
