How were the pueblo like their ancestors the hohokam and anasazi?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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 Navajo speak their own language, which called Navajo in English, Dine' bizaad in Navajo. Most also speak English. About 3% of the population of 300,000 speak only Navajo. About 1/3 don't speak any Navajo. The rest are bilingual, some very fluently , some not as good in one or the other language.

Navajo is in the Southern Athabascan language family, part of Athabasacan and the theorized larger Na-Dene' family. It may be related to a Siberian language caled Yenisei.

How do native Americans help us?

Asked by Wiki User

they were nomads and farmed some gardens using Indian slaves captured in battles. all the Indians had an agreement to not hunt in the Kentucky area due to there was a 7 year cycle of game growth. when the lean years happened ,they needed an area where the game was not used to being hunted so they could depend on feeding their tribes. when Daniel Boone entered the Kentucky game preserve to bring in settlers he was arrested by captain jack, the Indian game warden. after a few years tho the settlers kept moving in and the Indians were starved out.

This is a tough question. As the Sioux made up about 1/4th of the tribes in North America. They used their lands different thru out the Sioux nations. The Sioux stretch from the plains all the way up and down the east coast.

They grew cotton. Cotton arrived in the area in about 700 AD from farther south. They also used milkweed, indian hemp (dogbane), mesquite, cliff rose, willow, yucca, agave, stool, and bear grass and both feathers and fur.

Access to a source of water, food, shelter, and the ability to procreate are the basic issues that any culture faces. The Pueblo people lived in the arid desert region, so water was only available at a premium. Cisterns were constructed to save water for later use.

What was the pueblos religion?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Pueblos didn't have a specific religion, but they had prayer dances for rain, a sucessful crop, harvest, etc. They had a room called a kiva under their pueblo, usually one-two kivas per pueblo. They weaved and prayer danced in it. It was a round room that was entered through a trapdoor in the ceiling. They had kachinas, which were little dolls that represented the gods-there were rain kachinas, sun kachinas, etc. When the Europeans came to America in about the 1400s, they had a huge war with the Pueblo, capturing them , working them like slaves, and converting them to Christianity. Hope this helps! P.S. You might want to look for some books that are about the Pueblo-they probably will have a lot more information than I do!

It is wide open and not much is there even today. If you drive across the great plains you see wide expanse of space with the wind blowing and prairie grasses waving in the wind. Every so often there is a outcropping, but mainly it is just open space. Hot, dry, and windy.
