	Ancient Pueblo Peoples - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Anasazi is not preferred by descendants of the Ancient Pueblos, although there is still controversy among them on a native alternative.
		Cultural labels such as "Anasazi" (Hisatsinom), Hohokam, Patayan or Mogollon are used by archaeologists to define cultural differences among prehistoric peoples.

	The Native American Anasazi Indians
		The Anasazi (pronounced ah-nah-SAH-zee) were a prehistoric tribe of Native Americans that lived in the Four Corners area of the southwest United States, encompassing what is now northern Arizona, northwestern New Mexico, southern Utah and southwestern Colorado.
		Most Anasazi settlements were built in caves and on ledges of the walls of the narrow canyons.
		Some speculate that the Anasazi left because of a severe draught which destroyed their crops and caused all of the animals to migrate, and they simply left their belongings because they were to burdensome to carry.

	Sacred Places: Anasazi Sacred Sites
		The sacredness of the Anasazi lies in their kivas, temples lying beneath the floors of their homes, both the better known cliff dwellings and the pueblos, not unlike those of later tribes.
		Another creation of the Anasazi that is similar to that of other sacred sites around the world is the road that leads from Kutz Canyon in New Mexico to Pueblo Bonito in Chaco Canyon, over thirty miles away.
		The full history of the Anasazi and their cliff dwellings will never be known, but slowly, archaeologists are beginning to piece together the artifacts that remain in order to gain more knowledge of the "ancient ones" and their culture.
