celebrating the life and service of Barbara Dull Knife.

This bill introduces a legislative commemoration honoring Barbara Dull Knife, a Lakota elder and community leader who served as a child welfare advocate and founded an emergency safe house for children on the Pine Ridge Reservation. The resolution formally recognizes her seventeen years of service with the United States Attorney's Office, her tribal council leadership, and her work preserving Lakota cultural traditions and teachings. By adopting this commemoration, the South Dakota Legislature acknowledges her contributions to child welfare, cultural preservation, and community service without altering any existing laws or policies.
