Elliot’s Obituary Obituary Elliot Taquena, 78 Elliot Taquena (Taquaynah), 78, of Fort Hall, passed away, Saturday, October 26, 2019 at his home. Elliot was born to Joseph Taquena and Sylvia Tahvingo Taquena. Elliot enjoyed his independence, choosing to remain in his residence.

Elliot enjoyed embarking on road trips to tribal reunions held throughout Indian country. Elliot is survived by his brother, Bill Matte. He was preceded in death by his siblings, Theron Taquena and Rose Taquena.
