| MATEXZUNGA:
Mythology of the Sioux of North America includes Matexzungua, the lord of
the dead. Matexzungua lives in the north, in a place of insufferable
cold and perpetual blizzards. His task is to torture the souls of evil
people in his PURGATORIAL HELL. Once they have been cleansed of their
wickedness, these spirits are allowed to journey to a tropical paradise
located in the south. (o)
