Who was the chief of the anasazi?
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.
What are similarities between anasazi and inuit?
The Anasazi and Inuit societies both developed sophisticated cultures adapted to their environments.

What was the economy of the Anasazi?
Then Pueblo people Anasazi were spread out over a large landscape and probably represented several language families and cultures just as their descendants, the Modern Pueblo people, do today. They all farmed corn, beans, squash, sunflowers and raised domestic turkeys.
Some people specialized in tools or pottery or weaving. Some were probably priests and leaders.
They all gathered wild fruits and vegetables and hunted game.
A number of places were clearly trading hubs for the whole region. Goods from as far away as the Pacific, the Gulf of Mexico, central Mexico and the northern Plains came through the area. They traded, just as modern Pueblos did into historic times, salt, macaw feathers, shell, gem stones, obsidian and jasper, parrots, turkeys, corn, wild foods, bison, cotton, weaving, pottery, hides, furs, dried meat and art and ideas as well.
Some areas are though to have been large ceremonial centers so those areas the economy was based on the religion and who ever maintained it. Maybe a little like monastery towns in Europe at the same time period.
