men are clearly a bit out of their element, yet is more amused by their plight than she is concerned by it. Urrea even remarks on the woman’s amusement at the two foolish men: “I think I heard the Indian family laughing at us as they drove toward Tucson” (13). This modernization of the “wise Indian” that mocks the naïve outsiders plays beautifully into Urrea’s narrative as a modernization of an existing trope in a…
