    This Act may be cited as the ``Chief Big Foot National Memorial 
Park and Wounded Knee National Memorial Establishment Act of 1993''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) in December 1890, approximately 350-75 Sioux men, women 
        and children under the leadership of Chief Big Foot journeyed 
        from the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation to the Pine Ridge 
        Indian Reservation on the invitation of Chief Red Cloud to help 
        make peace between Indians and non-Indians;
            (2) the journey of Chief Big Foot and his band of 
        Minneconjou Sioux occurred during the Ghost Dance period when 
        extreme hostility existed between Sioux Indians and non-Indians 
        residing near the Sioux reservations, and the United States 
        Army assumed control of the Sioux reservations;
            (3) Chief Big Foot and his band were intercepted on the 
        Pine Ridge Indian Reservation at Porcupine Butte by Major 
        Whitside, and surrendered unconditionally under a white flag of 
        truce and were escorted to Wounded Knee Creek where Colonel 
        Forsyth assumed command;
            (4) on December 29, 1890, an incident occurred in which 
        soldiers under Colonel Forsyth's command killed and wounded 
        over 300 members of Chief Big Foot's band, almost all of whom 
        were unarmed and entitled to protection of their rights to 
        property, person and life under Federal law (see 19 Stat. 254, 
        Art. 8);
            (5) the 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre is a historically 
        significant event in that it marks the last military encounter 
        of the Indian wars period;
            (6) the Congress apologized to the Sioux people for the 
        1890 Massacre in Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 153 of the 
        101st Congress and stated therein that Congress:
                    (A) ``expresses its support for the establishment 
                of a suitable and appropriate Memorial to those who 
                were so tragically slain at Wounded Knee which could 
                inform the American public of the historic significance 
                of the events at Wounded Knee and accurately portray 
                the heroic and courageous campaign waged by the Sioux 
                people to preserve and protect their lands and their 
                way of life during this period''; and
                    (B) ``hereby expresses its commitment to 
                acknowledge and learn from our history, including the 
                Wounded Knee Massacre, in order to provide a proper 
                foundation for building an ever more humane, 
                enlightened, and just society for the future'';
            (7) the Wounded Knee Massacre site and sites relating to 
        the 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre on the Cheyenne River Indian 
        Reservation and Pine Ridge Indian Reservation are nationally, 
        significant cultural and historic sites that must be protected 
        through the designation of the sites as a national memorial 
        park; and
            (8) the Wounded Knee Massacre is a nationally significant 
        event that must be memorialized through the erection of a 
        suitable and appropriate memorial to the Indian victims.
    (b) Purposes.--The Congress declares that the purposes of this Act 
are to--
            (1) establish the Chief Big Foot National Memorial Park 
        consisting of--
                    (A) the 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre site, and sites 
                relating to the massacre located on the Pine Ridge 
                Indian Reservation, which shall be referred to as the 
                ``south unit''; and
                    (B) sites relating to the 1890 Wounded Knee 
                Massacre located on the Cheyenne River Indian 
                Reservation, which shall be referred to as the ``north 
                unit'';
            (2) erect suitable and appropriate structures within the 
        national memorial park to memorialize the Indian victims of the 
        1890 Wounded Knee Massacre; and
            (3) authorize feasibility studies to--
                    (A) establish Chief Big Foot's route from the 
                Cheyenne River Indian Reservation to Wounded Knee as a 
                national historic trail;
                    (B) establish visitor centers on Interstate 90 at
