Description

A Native American man, identified as Charley Whirlwind, Sr. (also known as Dr. Whirlwind), wearing a robe, or possibly a cape or cloak, stands near a rock formation identified as Elephant Rock near Gibbon, Oregon. The landscape is arid and rocky and the craggy, rock formation resembles an elephant.

Tribal Notes

An outside photograph of a tribal man identified as Charley Whirlwind Sr. wrapped in a blanket standing below Elephant Rock. He is standing below Elephant Rock which is in the middle of the photograph facing to the East. This rock formation is significant in Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) oral history. The photograph is in stereo. The one on the right side is showing more of the rock formation.
