In 1833 the tribe suffered through a smallpox epidenic.

The influence of missionaries was felt in the 1840's as they hoped to convert them to their Christianity.  The Oblates, a group of French Catholic missionaires arrived in Walla Walla. The Oblates moved to British Columbia in 1859, they also interacted with the Yakima and Cayuse tribes, establishing missions.

The 1840 and 50's were a time of recurring famine.
