Summary

Places the specified parcel at Wounded Knee into federal restricted-fee status and requires the Secretary to complete the necessary paperwork and assignments within 365 days of enactment. The land will be governed under Federal Indian‑country law, subject to recorded encumbrances and existing utility/service rights, and must be used only as allowed by the October 21, 2022 covenant between the Oglala Sioux Tribe and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe — which also bars gaming on the parcel. The measure defines the land and the key terms, assigns responsibility to the named Secretary to finish the transfer and related administrative steps, and preserves existing recorded agreements while imposing the covenant’s use restrictions and the federal restriction against alienation.
