Yellow Woman
By Leslie Marmon Silko
Tools are anything that that allow you change or further yourself in life. In the story Yellow Woman the spirit uses stories as a tool for seduction. Silva or Coyote, seduces the main character or Yellow Woman into believing that she is this mysterious, fairytale woman and that he is a spirit, come to whisk her away. The tools for the Silva or the K'atsina could be his wit which makes him a good trickster or that he has magical powers which he uses to enchant women with. Or it could be that the narrator herself, is using all the stories as a tool for self-identity.
