Paragraph (3). It fixes what the Act operates on: approximately 40 acres on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in Oglala Lakota County, South Dakota, including surface, subsurface and mineral estate and everything built or standing on it. The bounds are set by a map dated October 26, 2022, which the Act names but does not reproduce. The paragraph closes by stating that the acreage is a segment of the December 29, 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre site.

The land is about 40 acres at Wounded Knee, South Dakota. It sits on the Pine Ridge land. It takes in what is under the ground and what is built on it. A map from October 2022 shows it.
The law says the land is part of the site of the Wounded Knee Massacre of December 29, 1890. The law points to a map to fix the bounds.
