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.

What was the pueblos religion?
The Pueblos didn't have a specific religion, but they had prayer dances for rain, a sucessful crop, harvest, etc. They had a room called a kiva under their pueblo, usually one-two kivas per pueblo. They weaved and prayer danced in it. It was a round room that was entered through a trapdoor in the ceiling. They had kachinas, which were little dolls that represented the gods-there were rain kachinas, sun kachinas, etc. When the Europeans came to America in about the 1400s, they had a huge war with the Pueblo, capturing them , working them like slaves, and converting them to Christianity. Hope this helps! P.S. You might want to look for some books that are about the Pueblo-they probably will have a lot more information than I do!
