A Prophecy Fulfilled is a theater film for Whitman Mission National Historic Site. The film tells the story of the tragic encounter between missionaries and the Cayuse, a Native American people of the Columbia Plateau, in the Oregon Country in the 1840s. This complex story is told through the weaving together of re-enactments, interviews with historians and Cayuse descendants, and scenes of pristine Northwest landscapes. The Whitman/Cayuse story is contested history today, and the North Shore team worked hard to ensure that modern-day Cayuse perspectives were represented in the film. We are proud to report that the film has been extremely well received by both the National Park Service and tribal representatives of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation.
