Anasazi is a Navajo word for a native american group (not one tribe) that existed in the area before the Navajo and experienced a serious population decline before Europeans arrived. So they existed for many thousands of years.

Their descendants are most likely the Hopi, so the culture of the so called Anasazi was probably similar to that of modern day Hopi. So when the Navajo arrived and called them Anasazi they probably called themselves Hopi as they do now.
