= Cayuse Five = The Cayuse Five were five members of the Native American Tribe, the Cayuse, who were hanged by the city of Oregon City in 1850. Their names were Clokomas, Isiaasheluckas, Kiamasumkin, Telakite, and Tomahas --- Note the spelling of their names varies. The five men were charged with murdering the Protestant Missionary Marcus Whitman during the event known as the Whitman Massacre, despite little evidence directly tying them to the event. The trial began on May 21, 1850 and they were hanged on June 3rd(?). The location of their burials is unknown. The present-day descendants of the Cayuse Five within the Confederated Tribe of the Umatillia Indian Reservation continue to search for the graves of the five men in hopes to rebury them in accordance to their traditional burial practices.
