Because they were
There's a tribe in the Pacific Northwest known as the Cayuse, but "a cayuse" probably means a horse, particularly a low-quality feral (wild) horse or pony. The Hughes OH-6 helicopter is also called "Cayuse".
Cayuse tribe
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.
Disease had a devastating impact on Native Americans, as they lacked immunity to many diseases brought by European settlers, leading to significant population declines and social disruption. The Cayuse tribe felt betrayed by the Whitman missionaries, who they believed were responsible for the spread of measles that decimated their community in 1847. Frustrated by the loss of life and the perceived encroachment on their land and resources, the Cayuse ultimately murdered the Whitmans in a violent backlash against the missionaries and their influence.

The Cayuse Tribe killed Dr. Whitman because he is the reason settlers, also known as the whites, came to Walla Walla Washington. This angered the Cayuse Indians. The whites had brought measles with them and unfortunately they started to spread and the Cayuse got measles. Dr. Whitman was the shaman which means it's his duty to restore their health. Many Cayuse died of measles but the whites got well. The Cayuse lacked immunity so this is why it was hard to restore their health. Joe Lewis, a white settler, wanted to take over Dr. Whitman's place as shaman so he spread rumors to the Cayuse that Marcus was poisoning the Cayuse and since Dr. Whitman was white, he was helping the whites. The Cayuse Tribe believed this and killed Dr. Whitman in his own home. 13 or 72 people were killed during the Massacre.

The Whitman Massacre was a violent event that occurred in 1847 at the Whitman Mission in present-day Washington. It was triggered by tensions between the Cayuse Native American tribe and the Whitman settlers over cultural differences, diseases, and land disputes. During the massacre, several settlers, including missionaries Marcus and Narcissa Whitman, were killed by the Cayuse, leading to the Cayuse War.
