As ever, your post triggered a search. I went looking for Charles Martine. I found an article by his great grandson, David Bunn Martine. 
This is David Bunn Martine, great-grandson of Charles Martine, Sr. first from left, taken at Mescalero, and grandson of Charles Martine, Jr. second from left taken in New York City in the early 1960's. Alice Longfellow Chee, at the bottom, is the sister of Charles Martine, Jr. Charles Martine, Jr. in headdress and first on the left in the line taken in the 1940's in New York, is the son of Cah-gah-ashen shown in photo second from left with Charles Martine, Sr. at Fort Sill. Charles Martine, Jr. is the brother of George Martine, color photo taken at Mescalero in 1978. The fourth from left picture is the famous photo of Martine left and Kayitah right. This picture is mis-identified in books as Martine right. Martine is on the left in this picture. Last picture closeup of "Old Martine" younger. 
I am not 'Native American' but I think their mistreatment by the white people is abominable. For the brave men who helped capture Geranimo, to not have got the money they were promised is just one more strike against the history of our continent.
