The Anasazi are people who lived in the high plateau four corners area for 800 years until 1300. In the 1200s they started moving south and east and consolidating in the locations of the Modern Pueblo peoples. Some of them moved to the Hopi mesas. The Hopi were at their location as early at 1000 AD. They share in the same culture. They trace many of their clans and rituals to different Anasazi locations. The Hopis and Pueblo people are the Anasazi's direct descendants. Today there are about 18,000 Hopi members of the Hpoi Nation mostly on the three mesas on the southern edge of Black mesa were they have always lived, to the northeast of Flagstaff. About 75% speak Hopi. Many still farm corn and participate in complex rituals. Attached is the Hopi Nation website.

What did the Navajo Hopi Anasazi do that is unusual?
The Navajo and Hopi are modern people who both live in the American Southwest but are very different in many ways. They speak completely unrelated languages for example. We don't know what the Anasazi spoke. Probably several languages in different families. The Navajo have borrowed some ideas from the Hopi. The ancient Hopi lived at the same time as the now gone Anasazi, shared many cultural traits and probably some of the Hopi clans are descended from Anasazi groups. Some Navajo clans are probably from Anasazi groups too. As a whole it is very hard to say what they did and do that is "unusual". That depends on what you think is usual.
Who was the chief of the Anasazi tribe?
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.
Did the Anasazi tribe travel by mule?
No, there were no horses, donkeys, or mules in the Americas when the Anasazi existed as a group (named by the Navajo who were new arrivals and at war with them), The Anasazi abandoned their large cliff dwelling due to climate shift, and it is believed their modern descendants are the Hopi and other Pueblo tribes still living in the area.
