	Cayuse War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Cayuse War was an armed conflict that took place in the northwestern United States between 1848 and 1855 between the Cayuse people of the region and the United States Government and local white settlers.
		The Cayuse expected payment from wagon trains passing through their territory and eating the wild food on which the tribespeople depended; the settlers did not understand this and instead drove away the men sent to exact payment, in the belief that they were merely "beggars".
		The Cayuse suspected that Marcus Whitman — a practicing physician and religious leader, hence a shaman — was responsible for the deaths of their families, causing the disaster to make way for new immigrants.
