How can you judge another person based on the actions they take when you have no clue how they help? Tricksters deceive who they want in order to get what they desire no matter what tricks they have to use. They manipulate the minds of people, which may sound horrible, but it is not just for them. They do this to help people who are in need of something greater. People think tricksters are corrupted with greed and poisoned by evil but in reality they steal from selfish people and end up gifting the people in need with what they want. Tricksters use their dreadful powers to help and try to restore what characters need, instead of using their destructive abilities to extinguish the hopes of others into pieces.

In the second trickster tale, “CBD” gives many scenarios of how the crow is trusted with something the people need and uses this quality to get what he needs from the chief in the story. In the tale, it clearly states, “What's wrong, child?" asked the chief. “Tell him you want to play outside,” whispered Crow. The child did so, and the chief and his daughter took him out into the snow. As soon as they left the snow lodge, the speck of dust turned back into Crow again.” The statement provided above tells us in depth that the crow was basically manipulating the grandson to use the trust he has with the chief into thinking that the little boy wanted to play outside. From that moment on, he would plan his next move to achieve his goal. It shows us how the Crow uses the bond of trust between the child and chief to trick the chief and be able to get the ball of daylight for the Inuit people of the North.

In the final trickster tale, “C&B”, it states, “When he came to the herd, he was astonished to see the cow he had killed. She was there with the others! She refused to go with Coyote again, and Buffalo Bull would not give him another cow. Coyote had to return to his own country without a buffalo.” Based on the evidence from the passage, this shows how the Coyote took a path that he thought was a smart choice in his head, but it turned out to be a risky decision. It is shown that the Coyote risked the chances of being killed by Buffalo Bull for eating the cow, but he had given back to the buffalo in a specific way. He had given the buffalo the respect for not being torn to shreds and changed his mind set to take credit for the shameful acts he does. He walked with shame at the end of the story but leaves with a question of whether the evil task he committed was worth it. All in all, Coyote takes the harmful risk of asking the buffalo for a new cow, but finds out Buffalo Bull knows what he did and declines the Coyote’s request proving that he realized what he did was incorrect. Tricksters like Coyote take chances to get what they want, but go through a phase where they change their mindset improving the amount of trickery taken to complete a certain
