I found an article a few months ago, about an eleven year old Native American girl that was hanged during colonial times (for something stupid like stealing the toy of a little 7-year old white girl) but I can't find the article again, and I can't remember the girl's name. She was mentally disabled. (Don't freak, this isn't a report due for school) does anyone have any ideas of who this girl is, or where I can find info?

It's the youngest *female* ever to be executed in the United States:
"The youngest girl executed was 12 at the time of her crime and execution. *Hannah Ocuish*, daughter of a Pequot Indian woman, was hanged Dec. 20, 1786, in New London, Conn., for murdering a 6-year-old white girl five months earlier."
But there have been younger people executed by other countries. Hope this helps.

read a article about soldiers of the 4th US Calvary using american indian babies/toddlers as moving target practice on their rifle range in the 1870's. Book was titled Indian Wars by S. Longstreet.
Executed, murdered, what's the difference?

George Stinney was executed when he was 14. I can't find any article about your Native American girl.

Go to historic site for colonial times and then search for executed searches.

What is done; cannot be undone; even if you go to London.
Don't dig graves. Leave the past and search for a new bright question to brighten us all up.

sorry i don't have an answer to your question, but it's nice to finally see the correct form of the word hang in the past tense...so many people say "hung"...
