Anasazi Tribe History

Just imagine, over 2000 years ago, the Anasazi tribe's civilization began in what is known today as Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico. The Anasazi tribe, also known as the Ancestral Pueblo culture, was the largest and most prominent Southwestern prehistoric group of people. Yet evidence of the tribe's unique history is only represented by archaeological remains and written accounts provided by Spanish explorers. This is due to the fact that there are no accounts providing insight into the history of the Anasazi tribe written by the Anasazi people.

However, it is known that their history increased in complexity with time and was based on economic and social independence. Archaeologists have uncovered numerous Anasazi prehistoric sites finding not only skeletal remains, but unusually exotic objects supporting this view. These objects were primarily made of shell, bone, pottery, stone or even vegetable and animal fibers and survived for centuries in ancient Southwestern sites.

The culture of the Anasazi tribe is still represented today through its descendants who carry on many of their traditions and customs. They include Pueblo Indian tribes such as the Laguna, Hopi, Acoma and Zuni.

Anasazi Tribe Culture

Some of the material culture that defines the Anasazi includes objects such as pottery (created with intricate geometric shapes and styles), exquisite jewelry, woven textiles, and elaborately structured baskets, just to name a few. The Pueblo Indians continue producing artisan work with these styles today.

Archaeological discoveries of ancient campsites and skeletal remains also represent the uniqueness of the Anasazi culture, who are often known by the term cliff dwellers, which identifies a specific method used to build Anasazi homes. Typical Anasazi communities were literally built on rock ledges in canyons, the ruins of which are still evident today in the Southwestern United States. These ruins show us that communities were structured to accommodate hundreds of individuals. These structures symbolize Anasazi occupation and culture that spanned for centuries.

Anasazi Tribe Religion

The religion of the Anasazi tribe was designed to maintain a harmonious connection with nature, believing this provided an abundance of good health, good crops, and good weather. Religion was also regarded as the focal point of success, impacting every aspect of daily life. Therefore, all members of the Anasazi community actively participated in religious rituals, usually under the supervision and leaderships of the tribe's elders.

Traditionally, religious deities were represented by various masks, used during customary ritual dances. These masks were used to foster the promotion of fertility among the tribe and other important aspects, economically as well as socially, to ensure the future of the Anasazi people. Earth was regarded as sacred. All living things were believed to have a spirit and soul, connected to a Great Spirit.

Ancient kivas were used for religious purposes. These circular, sacred, underground structures were situated in the center of a community and were only occupied by men to conduct meetings for the purpose of religious practices and discussing important issues. Entrances to the kivas were made through a hole in the roof, and inside they contained only a stone bench to seat the occupants.

Geography

Imagine two people who live in very different places. Rishi lives in a community in the desert, while Lin lives on a small, lush island. How do you think their lives are different?

Geography is the study of the earth and the people in it. The word geography literally means 'earth writing,' and that is what many geographers do: they write about the earth, and how people change the earth, and how the earth changes people.

Let's look closer at one type of geography: human and cultural geography, and some of the main topics that are studied in that area.

Cultural Geography

Remember that Rishi lives in the desert, while Lin lives on an island. The ways they are raised and the things they do are very different.

Culture is the collection of behaviors and traditions of a group of people. For example, in some cultures it is customary for a bride to wear white on her wedding day, while in other cultures, a bride wears red. Cultural geography involves studying how the physical environment interacts with the traditions of people.

To understand cultural geography, let's go back to Rishi and Lin for a moment. Rishi lives in the desert. Many of her culture's foods involve camel meat or milk. Lin, though, lives on an island. There aren't any camels around, so it's not traditional for her people to eat camel meat or drink camel milk. Instead, their dishes have lots of fish in them. After all, they are surrounded by water with fish in it!

It would be pretty crazy for Rishi's desert culture to have fish as a main feature in many meals, since there aren't any big sources of water and fish around. But for Lin's island culture, fish is a logical thing for them to eat. Meanwhile, because there are many camels in the desert, it makes sense that Rishi's cultural dishes feature camel meat and milk. The geography of where the people live has affected their cultural practices regarding food.

Topics Studied

As we've seen, where people live and their traditions are closely related. This is a core concept when it comes to cultural geography. But what, exactly, do cultural geographers study? There are many, many topics that can be researched in cultural geography. Among the more popular topics are:

1. Globalization - Thanks to technology, cultures are coming together in new and interesting ways. People can more freely move around the globe and they can communicate with others from far away. The study of globalization looks at these trends. For example, Rishi and Lin both went off to the same college, far away from both of their homes. They live together and are influencing each other's cooking. Rishi eats more fish now and Lin has learned to use camel's milk and some of the spices that are traditional in Rishi's culture.

- [Voiceover] Society is a group of people. And culture talks about the rules and instructions within a society that guide people and teach them how to live. With that out of the way, let's learn more about culture. Culture refers to the ideas and things that are passed on from one generation to the next in society. Culture includes many different things like knowledge, beliefs, and values. It also includes language and customs. One important thing to realize is that culture varies as we travel across the globe. In America, most of us use toothbrushes and toothpaste when it comes to cleaning our mouths, while in other regions people use twigs from trees believe it or not. This is done in some African cultures and what they do is they'll go to a tree and they'll break off some twigs and on a certain half they will soften a broken end and then they'll rub the twig on their teeth to clean their teeth. Many people also sleep in beds, while others may sleep on tatami mats or even animal skins. Here is a picture of a tatami mat and these are often used in Japan. I speak English along with a little over 500 million other people around the world but also there are many different languages, so there are over one billion people who speak Chinese and there are also over 480 million people who speak Hindi and Hindi is the official language of India over here. There's also over 400 million Spanish speakers around the world and it is one of the official languages of over 20 countries, including Mexico, Argentina, and Spain. Also many people like to eat meat and vegetables while other eat tofu and grasshoppers. And you can see here this is a picture of a bowl of grasshoppers, this is a special dish in another region. Also, another way cultures vary around the world is when you go to greet someone. In the United States proper greetings include a handshake, maybe a wave, maybe they even say "hello." But the greeting ceremony in Japan includes bowing and the depth of the bow is defined by relative status. So each individual has to bow a certain way. So a person who is younger, and of lower status, must bow more deeply. And the proper greeting of many European countries calls for men and women to kiss acquaintances on both cheeks. These are examples of how culture varies greatly across the globe. This also shows how each social unit of people develops a unique way of life. Culture provides the guidelines for the actions and interactions within a society, as we've said many times. As we just saw, this could include guidelines for how to greet people, for example. There are four main points that I want to share with you about culture. The first one is that all people share a culture with others in their society. As mentioned before, culture provides the rules and expectations for carrying out your daily rituals and interactions. From birth, we learn the patterns of behavior that are acceptable in our society. A second point that I want to make is culture evolves over time and it is adaptive. So what is normal in hunter-gatherer societies would be very different from what is normal in the information age. Hunter-gatherers value cooperation and loyalty to the community because they're critical for hunting. Now in the information age, which is just the age of technology and the explosion of information on the internet, individualism and competition are encouraged and they are what is required to enhance one's position and well being. The creation of culture is ongoing and cumulative. Societies build on existing culture to adapt to new challenges and opportunities. So your behaviors and values that are seen as normal to you are actually shaped by your culture. Culture is so much a part of life that we might not even notice behaviors that outsiders may find weird. For example, you may not thing anything about putting a baby in a crib, but in other countries they may find that strange. For example, in Finland babies sleep in padded baby boxes that are issued by their government. This again shows how greatly culture differs around the world. Also, a final point I want to make is that culture is transmitted from one generation to the next. This talks about how we teach a way of life to the next generation. Humans are the only mammals with culture that enable them to adapt to their environment so they can survive on both the Equator and even in the Arctic. So that's just a more in-depth look at culture.

Natural Resources

Natural resources are useful raw materials that we get from the Earth. They occur naturally, which means that humans cannot make natural resources. Instead, we use and modify natural resources in ways that are beneficial to us. The materials used in human-made objects are natural resources. Some examples of natural resources and the ways we can use them are:

Natural Resource

Products or Services

Animals

Foods (milk, cheese, steak, bacon) and clothing (wool sweaters, silk shirts, leather belts)

Minerals

Coins, wire, steel, aluminum cans, jewelry

Natural gas

Electricity, heating

Oil

Electricity, fuel for cars and airplanes, plastic

Plants

Wood, paper, cotton clothing, fruits, vegetables

Sunlight

Solar power, photosynthesis

Water

Hydroelectric energy, drinking, cleaning

Biotic and Abiotic Natural Resources

There are several ways to classify natural resources, including where they come from and if they are renewable or not. If natural resources come from living things or organic materials, then they are considered biotic resources. Biotic resources include plants, animals, and fossil fuels. The three fossil fuels are coal, oil, and natural gas. Fossil fuels are classified as biotic resources because they were formed from the decay of organic matter over millions of years. On the other hand, abiotic resources originate from nonliving and inorganic materials. For example, air, sunlight, and water are abiotic natural resources. Minerals (gold, copper, iron, diamonds) are also considered abiotic.

Renewable and Nonrenewable Resources

Renewable resources are those that can be replenished during our lifetime, such as sunlight, wind, water, plants, and animals. The rate at which renewable resources are replenished may differ. For example, we will never run out of sun and wind in our lifetime because the Earth constantly supplies these resources.
