As many of us always stereotype the Indian Native lifestyle of being hunter-gatherers and people that live in a tipi this book clearly describes the lifestyle of the Apache people. First and foremost after reading the title Don’t Let the Sun step Over You one gets a clear understanding that this book tries to leave the stereotype of what people label the Native Indian lifestyle. We learn about them yet so much is missing of what exactly these natives were like. Most of these Apache natives had many struggles they were expected to find food to support themselves, head a household, raise a family and live good moments and traditions as well.
Eva as part of the Apache tribe has witnessed and knows the true story of these natives. She traveled a lot in search of food and survival. But this was very hard she face many hardships one including the losing of family members because of horrible diseases. One thing was the Eva was very close to her grandma, which was very skillful in knowing many traditional homemade cures for diseases. Not only that but she also mentioned the lifestyle of the Indian children in boarding schools and how they were not treated rightfully. In the end this introduction and first two chapters basically give you a glimpse at the true story of what is unwritten of the Apache tribe. The real non-stereotyped version.
