Actually the fate that 15 year old faced was an easy death compared to the fate of many boys and girls that were tortured slowly to death by native Americans. Babies were sometimes thrown into cactus to die slow agonizing deaths and a 13 year old girl might be the cause of a full days delay of an Indian military unit while they killed her in in a long torture session for entertainment.

Oh yes, the 'savages' - of course, we all know that no such atrocities were committed against them by 'US" - (sarc on you)

If you want to start learning about the Indian way of life you can start by reading the book "The Wild Frontier" subtitle "Atrocities During the American-Indian War from Jamestown to Wounded Knee" written by William M. Osborn.

It is the best source available for atrocities by Europeans, Indians, and Americans.

Something you will notice is that there are bad acts by whites but that they are seem as crimes and shameful, but for the Indian it was his culture and religion.

Indian children were often encouraged to practice on live animals to learn how pain was delivered and how to maximize it so that as adults they would know how to sustain human life while torturing it.

To the Indian brutalizing wasn't something a couple of bastards did in the woods and then hid from the better citizens.

The Indian was expected to save some of the victims for the town square, where the wife and kids, and the grandparents and the Mayor, and city council could all help, and party, and feast and make love while they all tortured people in hideous ways, day and night, until they all died, many tribes would also eat the people while torturing them or their fellow victims.

Trust me, if you think Sand Creek or Wounded Knee were the great horrors of the history of atrocities in America, then you have much eye opening reading ahead of you.
