Tommy Thompson served as Chief at Celilo from about 1906 until his death in 1959, two years after the loss of Celilo Falls. A full-blooded member of the Wyam tribe, he was born at Celilo, where his ancestors had always lived and fished.
He strongly opposed the building of The Dalles Dam, and continued to live year-round at Celilo till he moved to a Hood River rest home shortly before his death.
