Maybe I Will Do Something: Seven Coyote Tales

Ude, Wayne

Children's Books

Houghton, mifflin, harcourt

"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." -American Book Review  Wayne Ude grew up in Harlem, Montana, near the Ft. Belknap Indian Reservation. He is the author of three published books of fiction, including a book of short stories, Buffalo and Other Stories and an award winning children's book, Maybe I Will Do Something: Seven Tales of Coyote.
