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.
