Young Elk (1770–1795) was a chief of the Omaha tribe. The Diary of Hosea Stout describes him as the son of Big Elk, and says that he was involved in peace negotiations with a group of Mormons regarding return of six stolen horses. It is not clear whether Young Elk and Standing Elk, a son of Big Elk, are the same person. References External links Standing Elk (Omaha), photographs by F. A.
