This resolution calls on the federal government to rescind the Medals of Honor that were awarded to U.S. soldiers for their role in the 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre of Lakota people in South Dakota. The resolution does not change state law itself, but rather expresses South Dakota's position that these medals should be returned or revoked due to the soldiers' participation in this historical tragedy.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
