N2  - The research record on capital punishment in the USA is void of any empirical analysis of American Indian executions. This paper corrects for this deficiency by presenting a descriptive profile of American Indian executions within a historical–contextual framework of the American Indian experience in US society. The paper suggests that the history of American Indian executions is nested within the sociopolitical context of internal colonialism calculated to dispossess American Indians from their sacred tribal territories, disruption of their cultures, and continuation of their marginalized status.<p />
