On January 26, 2007, Stephen Kiesling, Kim Marie Murphy and Thomas Doty waded a very chilly Rogue River to the island near Ti'lomikh Falls to locate a stone chair, known as the Story Chair. During the Takelma Sacred Salmon Ceremony, a native fisherman sat in the chair as he netted the first salmon of the spring run.
