Known as the "People of the Rocks," the Cayuse would travel to Grande Ronde and exchange goods, from dried salmon to shells or even slaves. The Cayuse met other tribes in Walla Walla to trade but also to engage in friendly athletic competitions and festivities.

During the 1840’s the measles took over the tribe leaving them with only 400 left. This was the start of what is known as the Whitman massacre. The tribe blamed this doctor and his medicine for the deaths so, as a result, on November 29, 1847 the Whitman’s and 12 other people were slain.

In the 1850’s the people of the tribe signed a treaty ceding their land to the whites and agreeing to move to the Umatilla Reservation. The descendants of the tribe are now part of the Umatilla Confederated Tribes.
