When the Whitman family wagons made their way to the Pacific Northwest, they were literal trailblazers. Not only were they some of the first non-native people to cross the Rocky Mountains, they included the first white woman to make it so far West. Accomplishments aside, the Whitman\u2019s brought more than their own curiosity and sense of adventure. They also brought religion, other settlers, and eventually death. As the white man took over more and more land, the Native American\u2019s asked, then begged for the colonization to stop. And when the Whitman\u2019s refused to heed the warning, they were met with a massacre. \n\n\n\nJoin Murder in the Rain as we take you waaaaaay back to learn about some of the Native American history of the Pacific Northwest, the journey of the Whitman family, and why it shouldn\u2019t take an axe to the head for people to respect the space of others.\n\n\n\nLooking to relax?
