  Cayuse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cayuse tribe shares a reservation in northeastern Oregon with the Umatilla and the Walla Walla tribes as part of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation.
The Cayuse Indians are a nomadic tribe that occupied territories at the heads of the Walla Walla, Umatilla, and Grande Ronde Rivers and from the Blue mountains to Deschutes River in Washington and Oregon.
This began the Cayuse War, which they eventually lost, and were forced to share a reservation with the Umatilla while the whites moved to their land.
