Why do you think the narrator is unsure if she is the “Yellow Woman”?

The narrator is unsure if she is the "yellow woman" because if she was..... she should have another name. She also has trouble processing the fact that stories about a woman from years ago can still be applied to modern times. The "yellow woman" is a symbol, whereas, the narrator continues to see her as an individual, rather than the women she represents..... women just like her..... women who live in a world where history repeats itself.

"'...the old stories about the ka'tsina spirit and Yellow Woman can't mean us'"

"I am not really her--," she ruminates, "I have my own name and I come from the pueblo on the other side of the mesa"

"'What they tell in stories was real only then'"
