This is our collection of links to Ute folktales and traditional stories that can be read online. We have indexed our Indian mythology section by tribe to make them easier to locate; however, variants on the same legend are often told by American Indians from different tribes, especially if those tribes are kinfolk or neighbors to each other. In particular, though these legends come from the Utes, the traditional stories of related tribes like the Paiute and Shoshoni tribes are very similar.
Wolf:
Creator and culture hero of the Ute tribe. Like other figures from the mythic age,
Wolf is usually represented as a man in Ute stories, but sometimes takes on the literal form of a wolf.
Coyote:
Wolf's younger brother, Coyote is a trickster figure. Though he often assists his brother
and sometimes even does good deeds for the people, Coyotes behavior is so irresponsible
and frivolous that he is constantly getting himself and those around him into trouble.
