On September 25, 2025, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced that following the recommendations of the 2024 report, the awarded Medals of Honor would not be revoked, calling the recipients "brave soldiers" and saying: "We're making it clear, without hesitation, that the soldiers who fought in the Battle of Wounded Knee in 1890 will keep their medals, and we're making it clear that they deserve those medals."[100] Hegseth also claimed "this decision is now final," and "their place in our nation's history is no longer up for debate."[101] A Defense Department official declined to say if the report would be made public.[102][103][84][104]

In response, the National Congress of American Indians expressed "[t]his choice disregards the historical record of the brutal, unprovoked, and wrongful massacre of the Lakota by the United States 7th Cavalry and the moral imperative to confront injustice with honesty and courage." Further, the NCAI claimed that Hegseth's decision "champions this atrocious massacre and compounds the harm to the victims’ descendants and to all Native peoples."[105]
