Margaret, Ms. Pestewa's death has been reported here in the US. She was in a Maintence Co. to help soldiers on the frontlines. Her group made a wrong turn and were ambushed. The Lynch girl was with her and is the only survivor. 
Thank you for clarifying your post's title. Luisa

 This was a piece of an article I got off my local (New Zealand) web-server today.  Funny I haven't seen it in any of the American papers I read.  My comment in the subject heading was addressed to those who express the hope that all the American soldiers will be killed because they are pigs and deserve it and so forth.  I don't know why Lori Ann Pestewa joined the Army, but I seriously doubt that she was among those who just like to kill.  From what I know of the Hopi Indians, they are pacifist and deeply spiritual.  And for what it is worth, the Hopi are among the many peoples who have been  on by the United States in its expansionist and imperialist mode, had their children forcibly taken away from the parents and their society broken by this and the draft, so it is an irony that she is the first American woman to die "in action" in this war which is intended to Americanize yet another nation of different descent.Hoping this is an adequate explanation.Margaret
