The Whitmans, a missionary couple, were killed by members of the Cayuse tribe in 1847 in present-day Oregon. Their deaths were primarily a result of rising tensions between the settlers and Native Americans, exacerbated by the spread of diseases and competition over resources. The Whitmans had attempted to convert the Cayuse to Christianity and establish a mission, but their presence and the influx of settlers led to resentment. This culminated in the Cayuse War, where the tribe sought retribution for the perceived negative impact of the Whitmans and other settlers on their way of life.

This cultural insensitivity and the unintended consequences of their presence fueled resentment and ultimately contributed to the tragic events surrounding the Whitman Massacre in 1847.
