Don’t Let the Sun (Chapter 7&8)

Chedisake was a small community, there were only six families including Eva’s who lived there. All of the families helped each other out though. They shared hunting supplies and if one person shot a deer they shared the meat. Eva’s family hunted a lot. They shot with .22’s and .44’s. Eva shot her first deer with a .22. Her mother spent much of her time making jerky. Not many people had money in their community so when they did have money they used it to buy things. Eva’s mother traded goods most of the time. Eva rode horses often. Her family had many animals that her mother looked after. Charley talked to the horses in Apache, they would just stand there and listen. Eva started taming horses when she was 16, she learned from her brothers. I think Eva really enjoys being around horses, once she learned to ride and tame horses she never stopped.
