The Pueblo Indians are not thought to be related to the Hohokam just the Anasazi, Sinagua and Mogollon. The modern Pueblo dry land farm like the Anasazi especially in the western Pueblos. They grow the same crops but added ones that were brought by the Spanish like peaches and melons. In the eastern Pueblos they irrigated their farms which is similar to the Hohokam but not the same and not not thought to be related. They have the same housing patterns, the same pottery styles, the same weaving of cotton. The kachina cult is thought to have started among the Anasazi at the end of their time and continues among the Pueblo.
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.
The Hopi and the Pueblos.
There is no way to know for sure what beliefs they had. Their direct descendants, the modern Pueblo peoples have a unbroken record of continuity of all physical culture with the Anasazi so it is reasonable to assume that their beliefs have something in common with the Anasazi. However, although their are mainklhy commonalities the Pueblo people are not one culture or language. For example Zuni and Hopi languages have nothing in common. Also, we can see changes in the way kivas and plazas were built and presumably used over time. It appears like this kachina religion arose in around the 13th century.
pueblo Indians homes were a box like
American Indians in the north and west used water to travel and find food. Native people of the Southwest also relied on water, although it was not as plentiful in this region. Water was highly valued in the Southwest because much of the region was covered by desert. The Pueblo people, like the Hohokam before them, used irrigation to make the dry land suitable for farming. The Pueblo also used natural resources to build their houses. Pueblo homes were built from sun-dried bricks called adobe.

The Pueblo people, like their ancestors the Hohokam and Ancestral Puebloans (formerly known as Anasazi), developed advanced agricultural practices, utilizing irrigation systems to cultivate crops in arid environments. They built complex dwellings, often in cliff faces or adobe structures, reflecting a continuation of architectural innovation. Additionally, their social structures and spiritual beliefs were influenced by their predecessors, incorporating elements of communal living and a deep connection to the land. Overall, the Pueblo maintained key cultural and technological traditions while adapting to their specific environments.

For the most part, no. The Pueblo people are the cultural and direct genetic descendants of the Anasazi. When the Athabascan ancestors of the Navajo entered the area about 1100- 900 years ago they intermarried with a few of the ancestral Pueblo people Anasazi and learned and borrowed cultural practices. Some Navajo clans have origin stories of having one ancestor as being from the Anasazi or from other Pueblo people. However, it is thought for the most part, the Navajo are most closely related to the other Athabascan people like the Apache.
The ancestors of the Pueblo people are primarily the Ancestral Puebloans, also known as the Anasazi, who inhabited the Southwestern United States. Like their ancestors, the Pueblo people maintained a sedentary agricultural lifestyle, relying on the cultivation of crops such as corn, beans, and squash. They also built adobe and stone dwellings in communal styles, reflecting a continuation of architectural traditions. Additionally, their social structures and spiritual practices retained elements from their ancestral heritage, emphasizing community and connection to the land.
Anasazi
The Hopi and the Pueblos.
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.
The Hohokam are best known for their advanced irrigation systems and extensive canal networks in the deserts of present-day Arizona, which allowed them to cultivate crops like corn, beans, and cotton. The Ancestral Puebloans, commonly referred to as the Anasazi, are renowned for their impressive cliff dwellings and multi-story pueblos in the Four Corners region of the United States, showcasing their architectural skills and adaptation to the environment. Both cultures significantly contributed to the agricultural and architectural heritage of the American Southwest.
The "ancestral Pueblo" or Anasazi language is unknown, just like the language(s) of the Moundbuilder culture, the Mississippian Culture, the Adena Culture and many more. Without access to a time machine we can never known how any of these people spoke.
