西元1836年，惠特曼夫妇在与今天的瓦拉瓦拉地区不远的魏拉普 (Wailatpu) 地区的凯尔斯印第安人居住地发起传教团。为了要推广新教，惠特曼夫妇在当地新建学校与磨坊，并且帮当地居民研磨谷粒，还教导他们灌溉谷物的方式。几年之后，马可仕．惠特曼已经协助1千名移居者到奥勒冈 (Oregon) 地区定
居。当新移民到达之后，与美国原住民之间的紧张关系也随之高涨。
In 1836, the Whitmans set up a mission among the Cayuse Indians at Waillatpu not far from where Walla Walla is today. In addition to promoting the Protestant religion, the Whitmans set up schools and mills for grinding grain and introduced crop irrigation. A few years later, Marcus Whitman helped a group of 1,000 settlers find their way to the Oregon Territory. When the new settlers arrived, tensions with the Native Americans increased.
