Wazí

Sioux/Lakota · deity · second world · deity

Wazí, the Old Man and Wizard, was chief of the underworld people and father of Ité (Aŋóg Ité) by the seer Wakáŋka. For abetting Iktómi deception at the Feast of the Gods he was sentenced by Škáŋ to wander the world alone until he should help his grandsons; in later tradition the Old Man and Old Woman appear as ambivalent wizard-figures of the north.
