They thouhgt that Dr.whitman treated the Whites (Amercians) better than the Indians.I think they misunderstood Dr. Whitman.The missunderstanding lead to a two indivuals from indian tribe Cayuse, Tilaukait and Tamsuky, called Whitman to his kitchen and killed with a tomahawk.Then the Cayuse tibe went on a killing spree and captured and killed whites.
