Originally, the Anasazi settled in what is now known as the four corners area - southeast Utah, southwest Colorado, Northwest New Mexico, and northeast Arizona with a few far-flung settlements farther to the south. After living there for generations, they abandoned the area, leaving numerous small settlements plus larger sites at Mesa Verde in Colorado and Bandelier and Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. Why they left is a mystery, although archaeologists generally favor theories of climate change, encroachment of hostiles, and/or a new religious movement.

As to where they settled after that, it's generally believed they moved south and east toward the Rio Grande Valley in New Mexico, although there may be other theories. Most people believe the Anasazi are the ancestors of the modern day Pueblo Indians, from the Hopi in northeast Arizona and Zuni in northwest New Mexico to the Taos in northeast New Mexico and south to the Isleta in central New Mexico. There are more than twenty Pueblo tribes in the area.
