Clarence T. Burke, born July 29, 1889, at Cayuse, was the eldest son of Chief Poker Jim, the first Pendleton Round-Up Chief, and lived near Cayuse his entire life. After his father's death in 1936, he became co-chief with Willie Wocatsie and served for 51 years as Pendleton Round-Up Chief from 1936 to 1987. He was often called "the most photographed Indian in North America" and was remembered by a local tribal woman for teaching that no barriers should be built between oneself and others. As an ambassador of the Confederated Tribes of Umatilla and a representative of the Pendleton Round-Up and Happy Canyon, the Pendleton Woolen Mills, and the City of Pendleton, he was popular wherever he traveled. In 1969 he was inducted into the Pendleton Round-Up and Happy Canyon Hall of Fame. After his death on July 2, 1987, an Eastern Oregonian editorial said he "was impressive both on the outside ad on the inside," and his obituary said that his death ended a chapter in Indian-White relations in the area and in the success of the Round-Up and Happy Canyon.
