"This collection comprises the best short stories of [Plains Indians] I've ever read. In fact, these rank with the best short stories of Indians anywhere. Each one of them ends with a great surprise, a pure delight. And the characters are magnificently drawn-thinking, feeling, and actions all pure Indian as I know them. It is difficult for me to express my admiration and enthusiasm."

Two reservation Indians get drunk, break into the Indian Museum, steal old-time costumes, weapons...and set off to hunt down a buffalo. Snook, chief of reservation police, and a deputy set out to run the pair down...Ude uses them [Coyote tales] with the skill of a neoclassicist drawing on Greco-Roman mythology to build a theme alien to the European mind, yet naggingly familiar at some deep level. The result is a kind of spiritual experience...Ude's character development is as leisurely and effortless as his pacing of the story...Becoming Coyote is recommended reading.

| Praise for Becoming Coyote |
"Becoming Coyote is much more than a simple cops-and-robbers chase. It is a saga of the modern American Indian's precarious position in today's world. And since the search leads Snook into what's called "Coyote's Land" (technically, the Missouri Breaks), a place where anything can and does happen, it becomes a mythical adventure, fraught with meaning and magic."
