Anasazi Indians

No, not traditionally. The did dry land farm corn, beans and squash, melon and peaches.

Today the Navajo Nation has the largest single irrigated farm in the US. Navajo Agricultural Products Industries (NAPI) farms 110,000 acres. They produce Navajo Pride brand potatoes, corn, alfalfa, beans, and small grains, such as barley, wheat and oats. They have a contract with Lays potato chips.

Navajo Indian Irrigation Project, NIIP was started June 13, 1962. The Colorado River Storage Project, has a principal purpose of furnishing 110,630-acres of irrigable land. The Act authorized an annual diversion of 508,000 acre-feet of water from Navajo Reservoir.

Later groups such as the Pueblo and the Hopi are descendants of the Anasazi.

The Native Americans of the southwest built homes out of dried clay brick instead of wood and bark because the dried clays were their natural resources. The southwestern region was mostly dry, which is why it was treeless. The Native Americans had to adapt to their surroundings, and so far the dried clays were the best resources to use when building homes. If they had wood and bark around them, they would've definitely used them to make homes like the Iroquois built the longhouses. However, their climate was different from the northeastern regions, so they built adobe buildings or pueblos to live in.

The Anasazi of northern New Mexico often lived in caves. They constructed adobe brick rooms and storage areas. They also lived in pit houses and later built pueblos of connected square homes. Most had a hearth and an entrance facing a central area. In general, they made use of the materials available in the place they lived.

Likely not, because ancient peoples were too busy surviving themselves to be able to care for pet animals, although they could possibly have kept small animals on occasion to entertain the children for a while. Most likely any animal in the near vicinity would have ended up in the cooking pot, however.

The anasazi made black on white pottery by grinding carbonaceous clay, mixing it with a temper (ground pottery pieces) and with water to form a clay body.

The clay was then formed into the desired shape (bowl, mug, kiva jar etc) and allowed to partially dry.

The pot was then slipped with a slip clay and this was allowed to dry.

The slip was burnished with a smooth stone and the pot was allowed to dry.

It was then painted with a organic paint (made from rocky mountain beeplant) or a mineral paint.

The pot was fired in a trench kiln.

Around 1300, the Anasazi left their homes, but archaeologists don't know why. One theory is that they used the records provided by the tree rings, they left during the drought in the American Southwest.

they live in the desert region,corn,squash,beans,and turkey. Yucca fibers.

Cliff dwellings were almost always set in the hollow of a cliff face . The cliffs over hung above the roof of the houses. The roofs were made with log beams often as close a one foot apart. Branches were over that and then bark and then mud and dirt. The roof was often used as a living area. Many more houses actually were above on the mesa tops but they have not survived the weather as well.

The reason why the Anasazis built their shelters on the edges of cliffs is because they faced attacks against warlike neighbors, and building shelters at the edges of cliffs helped escaped that threat.

There is much debate about this, but it is often hypothesized that cannibalism was brought from Mexico into the Anasazi territory, perhaps by religious cultists. Cannibalism was common in Mesoamerica, and some archaeologists believe that the Anasazi practiced ritual cannibalism and sacrificed their victims in a type of religious ceremony.

The Anasazi, also known as the Ancestral Puebloans, did not have a formal alphabet like modern writing systems. Instead, they communicated through a combination of oral traditions and symbolic representations, such as rock art and pottery designs. Their intricate pottery and cliff dwellings often featured symbols and motifs that conveyed cultural stories and beliefs. The lack of a written language means much of their history and knowledge is interpreted through archaeological findings.

Anasazi Indians

because they honored their dead

Both the Aztec and the Anasazi peoples anticipated the changing of the seasons by tracking the passage of the planets and the stars. They focused their ceremonies on the broad concepts of harmony and balance in nature, and they believed that their ceremonies, properly done, would be rewarded by rain, abundant harvests, successful hunts and good health. They both held beliefs with common threads about their origins and deities. They used similar cultural icons as ritualistic symbols, which seem to have sprung from common cultural wellheads. For instance, their step-sided rain cloud altars and their ceremonial masks probably had roots in the great civilizations of southern Mexico.

Because when you dont have any water to drink you die!! so they had to find water somewhere else :)

The apache children would help their parents do work when they reach the age of 14. The boys would go out and hunt for food and the girls will stay home and cook the food, make the clothing or gather berries or other plants. :)

Migration

they want to see that if they can find a more better land

There Homes Was Made Out Of Stones But The Mesa's Put Mud In Between The Stones So That They Would Stick Together .

They became successful farmers by digging ditches near streams and the stream's water flowed into the ditches making water for crops.
