Her band, the Capote Band was encamped on a hill above the Pine River for the summer. Martin was born in a tepee like countless other Lites back through the generations. Lilly and her children had little conception of the great changes about to affect their tribe. Not much longer would the LIies hunt the deer and the rabbits for their food. Not much longer would they have skill with bows and arrows. Not much longer would they weave their own fish seines from strips of oak fibers. Martin learned these skills as a boy. As he became a man, he learned farming skills also. When he got his own land, he raised wheat and oats, potatoes and corn and the other necessary vegetables for the table. Martin remembers the many ceremonials and dances and the horse racing and gambling which entertained the tribe in the old days. His own tastes were more for quiet things. Martin liked to fish. He especially liked to ride his horse into the middle of the Pine River and fish from horseback. All of Martin's brothers and his sister are dead now. He never married, but he raised his nephew, Erdman Tobias, from the lime he was a child. Erdman still lives with Martin and they are very close. Though life has changed greatly for his tribe, Martin continues to lead a very simple existence. He has never driven a car and states, "I'd never make it home, if I tried." He has never traveled far from the Pine Valley except for one trip to Utah. When asked whether he would like to have the old days back, Martin says, "I'm enjoying myself. I like the new things that are coming about."
