Why is the Anasazi tribe named Anasazi?
The word Anasazi comes from the Navajo name for the ancestors of the Modern Pueblo peoples. The word in Navajo is: Anaasází, it means ancestors of our enemies. Anaai' means enemy or stranger. For example the "anaaji" is the Navajo ceremony for too much contact with people or things outside the four sacred mountains or for those coming bakc from war. It is often called the "enemy way ceremony". The name for the pre Pueblo peoples was picked up by Americans from the Navajo when they first came to the 4 corners area and started doing archeology inn the late 1800's.As it says below some Pueblo groups do not now like the term. As they were their direct ancesors we should respect that. It is not however like the "n" word. No one on the Hopi rez or Zuni or other places really thinks or feels that.Actually, no one knows. People believe that the Anasazibelieved in gods and spirits. Most dwellers of the valley and around the 4- corners region and countryside. Also, please if you do read this, don't call the Anasazi peoples the Anasazi. Recent studies show that they should formerly be called the Pre-Pueblean peoples. Anasazi is actually more of a slang term for these peoples. Anasazi is to Pre-Peublean Peoples as the "N" word is to Peoples of African descent (IE. Africans, African-Americans). Thank you so much. The Pre-Puebleans peoples were secretive and most of their artifacts were destroyed by White men such as Spanish Conquistadors and such.
Do the Anasazi Indians like the Kachinas Indians?
The kachina are part of the religion of the modern Pueblo peoples. They are not an Indian group. The Anasazi are the ancestors of the modern Pueblo people. We have evidence the kachina religion started towards the end off the Anasazi period in the 1200s. The change in religion may also be one of the factors in the Anasazi leaving the area they were for the south and east. It is thought to have multiple factors.

All early peoples hunted, at least to some extent, and where food was scarce for hunting, they eventually learned to farm and raise crops.
What anasazi traditions were adapted by the pueblo people?
The modern Pueblo people are the direct desecndants of the Anasazi and other peoples of the Southwest such as Mogollon and Hohokam as well. There is a direct continum over time from those older people. Pottery, buildings, farming techniques, kachina religion and everything else that make the Pueblo people distinct are from there ancestors the Anasazi or Ancstoral Pueblo peoples and they are mostly known as today. Of course these are living cultures and practices changed and evoled over time. Only newer tradtions that clearly come from the Spanish are not from the Anasazi. One example of this would be the Moros y Cristianos festivals in San Juan or the running of bulls at Jemez.
