This is the identical Senate companion, led by U.S. Senators John Thune (R-S.D.) and Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), to U.S. Representative Dusty Johnson’s (R-S.D.) bill that passed the House unanimously in September 2023. “The events that happened at Wounded Knee on December 29, 1890, should not be forgotten,” said Johnson. “I’m thankful for the Senate Committee following the House’s lead. This progress brings us closer to properly memorializing and remembering the lives lost and securing lasting protection for the land.” Read full bill text here.

Indians believed that this dance would give stolen land back to the Indians, bringing about a renewal of Native society. Indians would join together, wearing shirts they believed would protect them from bullets, to dance for this renewal, all at the protest of the federal government.	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-08T01:01:09Z
