Wounded Knee Massacre Memorial and Sacred Site Act

This bill designates approximately 40 acres at the Wounded Knee Massacre site (part of the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota) as Tribal land held in "restricted fee status" by the Oglala Sioux Tribe and Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe. It requires the Secretary of the Interior to complete all necessary steps to establish this status within one year of enactment, ensuring the land remains tribal-owned, part of the reservation under tribal jurisdiction, and protected from state taxation or sale without tribal and congressional consent. The land must be used solely for purposes specified in a 2022 tribal covenant, cannot be used for gaming, and retains existing utility agreements. This directly affects the two tribes managing the memorial site, preserving its status as a sacred and historical location.
