Best Answer

Traditional Native American didn't have a word for hell, because there was no concept of hell in the NA culture until the missionaries showed up to 'convert the heathens' to their religion, which does have a hell.

The Aztec however did have an underworld with nine levels that the dead were suppoesd to go to and 13 overworlds or heavens. The main underworld that most peope went to was called Mictlan. To go from the first tothe ninth took 4 years and was very difficult. It had things like rivers of blood and flesh srcaping knives. It was ruled by King Mictlantecuhtli and his wife, Mictecacihuatl.
