In 1855 how did the war between native Americans and miners in Oregon begin?

In 1855, tensions escalated between Native Americans and miners in Oregon due to the influx of settlers and miners encroaching on Indigenous lands following the Oregon Trail migration. The conflict intensified when miners began to exploit resources on lands that Native tribes considered sacred and vital for their survival. This led to a series of skirmishes, most notably the Rogue River Wars, as Native Americans sought to defend their territories against the encroaching settlers. The conflict ultimately reflected the broader struggles over land and resources during westward expansion.
