Douglas Martineau
ST. GEORGE - Douglas LaVan Martineau, 68, died Saturday, Feb. 26, 2000, in St. George, after a three-year battle with cancer. He was born JHan. 3, 1932, in Kanab, Utah, to Amon Douglas Martineau and Mavis Sorenson. He married Doris Dorene Kanosh on Dec. 8, 1954, in Manti, Utah. She died giving birth to their son, LaVan Jr., on Sept. 22, 1958, in Richfield, Utah. He later married Evalina Mae McFee on Nov. 4, 1962. She preceded him in death on May 23, 1996.
After his dad died in 1950, he was raised by Edrick Bushhead, a Paiute who lived at the Cedar City Indian Village. He grew up learning the language and culter and later married into the tribe. He served in the United States Air Force in the Korean War as an air traffic control operator.
LaVan was an author with several books under the publication of KC Publications, his best know work being The Rocks Begin to Speak and The Southern Paiutes. He has also done works on Indian sign language, Indian archery and his most recent book, still in the publishing process, is The Great Migrations and the Indian Prophecies.
He had many interests in life, his favorite being his love for the great outdoors, with travels to Europe from Israel to Denmark and from the Northwest territories to Central America and Belize, and everywhere else in between, learning as much as he could about the different cultures of the North American Indians.
LaVan was a warrior in life, always searching for new battles to conquer and searching for ways to preserve the culture of others so that they may have knowledge in their future for generations to come.
LaVan is survived by his four daughters: Carmen, Shanandoah Martineau and Jetta Wood, all of St. George, and Dorena Martineau of Cedar City, Utah; five grandchildren: Shilkeem Feather, Kwaiuv Plume and Dion Kanosh Martineau, Willow Wolf Runner and Keeya Little Dove Wood; one brother: Marty Martineau of Mountain View, Calif.; and one sister: Betty Richards of Las Vegas.
There will be an all-night sing at the Shivwits Tribal Building on Wednesday, March 1, 2000, starting at 7 p.m. Funeral services will be held Thursday, March 2, 2000, at 10 a.m. at Shivwits Tribal Building, with interment to follow in the Shivwit Cemetery.
