This Senate Resolution expresses South Dakota's support for repealing the 1863 federal law that removed the Dakota, Anishinaabe, and Ho-Chunk tribes from Minnesota by annulling their treaties and forcing their relocation. The resolution acknowledges the historical injustices leading up to the removal, including broken treaty promises, starvation on reservations, and the largest mass execution in U.S. history. South Dakota is formally calling on Congress to repeal this act that stripped these tribes of their ancestral lands.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
