- MISSIONARIES The settlers came from Europe to America were
mostly believers in the Christian faith. Many people felt that
their faith was the only true way to know God. Some of them thought
that it was their job to teach Native Americans to accept this
religion. Some of them devoted their lives to this effort. They
were missionaries. Before the settlers explored the far west, the
French and Spanish missionaries traveled west into the lands and
the Native Americans lived. They built small settlements known as
missions. Missions usually included farms and schools, and as well
as churches. They also were basic skills living while they settled
in. The Roman Catholic mission grew and prospered, and spread
throughout California.

- The American Mission. Word of the Native Americans coming to an
American city got out. Newspapers told of their story. Church
groups where beginning to raise money to send missionaries to
travel west to teach them. Narcissa and Marcus Whitman were faced
with the decision of becoming missionaries. They thought they where
doing the right thing by trying to change the Indian ways. Now they
were of to live among the Cayuse Indians. In 1836 they set out for
Oregon. The traveled by wagon train with another missionary couple.
It was a hard and long journey. At last, they finally arrived on
the site that they had chosen. The Cayuse called the site Waiilatpu
(Wy-ee-lat- poo), this means the place of rye grass. The Whitmans
kept the name for their mission.

they built a house and some other buildings at Waiilatpu. They
planted wheat, potatoes and, corn. They held church services
several times a week. Marcus took care of sick people and Narcissa
had a children's school. Life was very difficult for them and very
lonely. Narcissa wrote a letter to her sister Jane, and brother,
Edward on September 29, 1842. People then got upset with Dr.
Whitman saying he only cured white children. This fight caused both
Marcus and Narcissa to be killed.
