<\/p>\r\nThe bill requires the Department of the Interior<\/a> to place about 40 acres in restricted fee status for the Oglala Sioux Tribe<\/a> and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe<\/a>. The two tribes are headquartered in South Dakota.\r\n

<\/p>\r\nThe land is part of the site of the Wounded Knee Massacre<\/a>, where more than 300 Lakota women, children, elders and men were murdered by U.S. military soldiers on December 29, 1890. The property is located within the boundaries of the Pine Ridge Reservation<\/a>.\r\n

<\/p>\r\nConsideration of H.R.3371 took place under a suspension of the rules, a process typically used for non-controversial bills. However, the measure was not immediately passed by the House — as is usual practice — following a procedural objection raised by a member of the Republican majority. A vote is expected eventually.\r\n

<\/p>\r\nThe bill otherwise enjoys bipartisan support in the 118th Congress. Testimony took place before the House Subcommittee for Indian and Insular Affairs<\/a> during a legislative hearing on \r\nJune 7<\/a>. H.R.3371 was approved by the House Committee on Natural Resources<\/a> during a markup on June 13<\/a>.\r\n
