Cayuse People
The Cayuse are a Native American tribe in what is now the state of Oregon in the United States. The Cayuse tribe shares a reservation and government in northeastern Oregon with the Umatilla and the Walla Walla tribes as part of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. The reservation is located near Pendleton, Oregon, at the base of the Blue Mountains. The Cayuse called themselves the ''Liksiyu'' in the Cayuse language. Originally located in present-day northeastern Oregon and southeastern Washington, they lived adjacent to territory occupied by the Nez Perce and had close associations with them. Like the Plains tribes, the Cayuse placed a high premium on warfare and were skilled horsemen. They developed the Cayuse pony. The Cayuse ceded most of their traditional territory to the United States in 1855 by treaty and moved to the Umatilla Reservation, where they have formed a confederated tribe. History According to Haruo Aoki (1998), the Cayuse called ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Cayuse Language
The Cayuse language (''Cailloux, Willetpoos'') is an extinct unclassified language formerly spoken by the Cayuse Native American tribe in the U.S. state of Oregon. The Cayuse name for themselves was ''Liksiyu'' (see Aoki 1998). Classification Similarities to Molala, the language of people to the south of them in central Oregon, are thought to have been due to contact (Rigsby 1969: 71).Rigsby, Bruce. 1969. The Waiilatpuan Problem: More on Cayuse-Molala Relatability. ''Northwest Anthropological Research Notes'' 3. 68-146. Edward Sapir had originally grouped Cayuse with Molala as part of a ''Waiilatpuan'' branch with the Plateau Penutian languages; the Waiilatpuan group had been originally proposed by Horatio Hale (1846), based on his 1841 field work with the Cayuse people at Waiilatpu Mission. However, Cayuse has little documentation, and that which is documented is inadequately recorded. Pronouns Cayuse pronouns listed by Horatio Hale (1846): : Cayuse pronouns listed by McBe ...

Cayuse Horse
Cayuse is an archaic term used in the American West, originally referring to a small landrace horse, often noted for unruly temperament. The name came from the horses of the Cayuse people of the Pacific Northwest. The term came to be used in a derogatory fashion to refer to any small, low-quality horse, particularly if owned by indigenous people or a feral horse. Later the term was applied to people of villainous reputation. In British Columbia, the variant word ''cayoosh'' refers to a particular breed of powerful small horse admired for its endurance. ''Qayus'' (Cayuse) is the Tŝilhqot’in term for the wild horses in that Province’s Chilcotin region, used by the local Tŝilhqot’in Nation. One theory of the origin of the word “Cayuse” is that it derives from the French "cailloux," meaning stones or rocks. The name may have referred to the rocky area the Cayuse people inhabited or it may have been an imprecise rendering of the name they called themselves. Anot ...

Hughes H-6
The Hughes OH-6 Cayuse is a single-engine light helicopter that was designed and produced by the American aerospace company Hughes Helicopters. Its formal name is derived from the Cayuse people while its "Loach" nickname comes from the acronym for the Light Observation Helicopter (LOH) programme that it was procured under. The OH-6 was developed in response to the United States Army issuing Technical Specification 153 in 1960 to replace its Bell H-13 Sioux fleet. The ''Model 369'' was submitted by Hughes, and competed against the two finalists, Fairchild-Hiller and Bell, for a production contract. On 27 February 1963, the first prototype conducted its maiden flight. The Model 369 had a distinctive teardrop-shaped fuselage that had strong crashworthiness properties and provided excellent external visibility. Its four-bladed full-articulated main rotor made it particularly agile, and it was suitable for personnel transport, escort and attack missions, and observation. During May 19 ...

Cayuse Five
The Cayuse Five were five members of the Native American tribe, the Cayuse of Oregon who were hanged for murder, in 1850. Their names were Clokomas, Isiaasheluckas, Kiamasumkin, Telakite, and Tomahas—note how these names are spelled varies. They were charged with murdering the Protestant missionary Marcus Whitman. The trial began on May 21, 1850. Background 1824 to 1836 In 1824, John McLoughlin and his wife Marguerite moved to the Pacific Northwest, aiming to make money off the fur trade. They became known for heading Fort Vancouver in Vancouver, Washington, across the Columbia River from what is now Portland, Oregon. This was a post in a select spot, with tens of thousands in nearby Native American communities, plus it was at the center of important trade routes connecting to the Columbia River. Marguerite was half Ojibwe or Cree, and half Swiss. Twelve years later in 1836, in Walla Walla, five people, Narcissa Whitman, her husband Marcus Whitman, Reverend Henry ...
