The massacre was called the Whitman Massacre (you can Google it) because the missionary who died was Marcus Whitman along with his wife Narcissa Whitman
When Dr. Marcus Whitman and Narcissa Prentiss Whitman set out to Oregon territory for a mission for the American Missionary Board, the Cayuse natives attack them and many other white settlers and missionaries. However, the settlers brought measles with them, and whenever Dr. Whitman gave medicine to the natives, they fell ill and died.
Narcissa Whitman died in what was called the "Whitman Massacre" at the Whitman Mission in Walla Walla, WA. Narcissa, along with her husband and 12 others were killed by the Indians living around the Mission.
The Whitmans started a mission in 1836 and called it the Whitman Mission. while they were traveling they ran across some old friends. They had some conflict and split up, the Whitmans tried to convert indians, their friends tried to convert the others.But on November 29th, 1847, Europeans came to America and brought measles, influenza, cholera, and smallpox. Many Native Americans died because they had no immunity towards the European diseases. Native Americans thought thought it was Mr.Whitman because he was a doctor. So they hunted down the Whitmans and killed them and the people who were traveling with them. The Whitman massacre is also known as the Walla Walla Massacre or the Whitman Incident.
