"Propulsive...a masterclass...Big Chief is a dazzling, fast-paced pressure-cooker journey about not letting others define who we are, but rather deciding that for ourselves."—San Francisco Chronicle

"Unexpected, disturbingly funny...the sort of work that betokens genuine talent, with the promise of more to come."—The New York Times

“An entertaining political thriller...Hickey’s depiction of the reality of reservation life eschews stereotypes and caricatures in favor of complex, multifaceted people...Big Chief understands the unique double consciousness of what it means to be Native American—the political workings of a tribe, the meaning of belonging under Indian law. But the novel is smart enough to keep all these ideas swirling, using them as the backdrop for an engrossing political thriller.”—Los Angeles Review of Books
