Our Ceremonial Chiefs
(now deceased - replaced by his son, Gary Burke - Tuk-Lu-Key)
Wet-yat-muss-till-lie-la-kop-pit (Walla Walla Chief William Burke)
Uma-pie-ma (Cayuse Chief Jesse Jones)
Peo-Peo-Mox-Mox (Walla Walla Chief Carl Sampson)
Although our ceremonial chiefs do not play an official role in
the day-to-day business of our Tribal government, they are an
important part of our community structure. The chiefs were named
by the people for their family heritage and their leadership
in the community. They are present at most community functions
and serve as official ambassadors during events like the Pendleton Round-Up.
