We're working to ensure the Wounded Knee Massacre site is preserved and respected by securing its status under the ownership of the Oglala Sioux Tribe and Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe. This legislation will affirm the land's dedication as a sacred memorial, safeguarding it from unauthorized transfer and use while honoring its historic and cultural significance.
