Young Elk (c. 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.[1]
It is not clear whether Young Elk and Standing Elk, a son of Big Elk, are the same person.[2][3]
