Abstract

The article discusses the upcoming 41st Annual Convention of the Oregon-California Trails Association (OCTA), which will be held in the Walla Walla valley in Oregon. The convention will focus on the shifting legacy of the Oregon Trail and its impact on Native Americans, emigrants, and settlement in eastern Oregon and Washington. The region was originally inhabited by the Umatilla, Walla Walla, and Cayuse peoples, who were later displaced by white settlers. The article also mentions the Whitman Massacre, an event that occurred during the Cayuse War and had a significant impact on the region. [Extracted from the article]
