Hi there. That's some info already, but still, a bit terse - could you please take a look at these guidelines on story-ID, see if they trigger any more memories you could edit in? For instance, when did you read that? Was it in a magazine, like say Analog or F&SF?

I suspect this is "Courier of Chaos" by Poul Anderson.
The world of the far past was a terrible
one to Ushtu — but no more terrifying
than Ushtu himself was to Earthlings ...
Found with a search for "Ushtu" future Earth.
