https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj In our PACE class we have been assigned a Native American Research Project. The Native American group we are researching is called the "Anasazi" tribe. en-us 2017-08-16 14:35:45 UTC 2025-04-26 16:33:07 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Beartoy.png oboatright22 https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181267598      The Anasazi's were located in the modern states of Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. To be very precise they were located at (N37.172086, W109.866848). The Anasazis migrated to the  Río Grande Valley, Hopi, Zuni, Acoma and New Mexico, so that is where they are today.   ]]> 2017-08-16 14:40:03 UTC https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181267598 oboatright22 https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181267703      The geographical movement of the Anasazi tribe was when they were forced to move out of land by the Europeans when the Gold Rush happened. The Gold Rush was when people discovered that there was gold in Sacramento. Then the Anasazi Tribe disappeared out of nowhere and people still have no clue where they went.
 The Anasazis traded turquoise and copper mines for parrots, and sea shells.

*There were no websites that talked about who the Anasazi's traded with.]]> 2017-08-16 14:40:27 UTC https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181267703 eprine22 https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181275802   The Anasazi are called the Ancient People. They live in houses that were later called pueblos. These pueblos were multistory buildings and were made of adobe (a mix of sand, straw, and bricks). The Anasazi tribe learned how to farm in the dry lands. The crops they grew consisted of corn, squash, and beans. They farmed in dry areas by planting seeds deep within the dry soil to get most water. The Anasazi had many gods that represented nature and elements.

The Anasazi tribe lived in modern states today know as Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico. The weather is normally warmer in their region, because they are closer to the equator. Clans are very important to the understanding of the Anasazi. The histories of clans, passed down from generations, combined with scientific and archeological evidence, have helped us confirm who constructed Anasazi sites and were allies to the Anasazi. Ancient people in Southwest America came from one basic unit of societal organization. Important places or landmarks include the Aztec ruins, near Farmington, Aztec and Bloomington, New Mexico, El Malpais, south of Grants, New Mexico and Cedar Mesa Area, near Blanding, Utah. Also, Grand Gulch Primitive Area, near Blanding, Utah and finally Three Kiva Pueblo, near Moab, Utah.]]> 2017-08-16 15:19:33 UTC https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181276244 eprine22 https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181279193   The Anasazi government wasn't that organized. One person was selected to become the headmen and had control over the entire tribe. Although the headmen could be either male or female, it was often a male. A person became the headmen by being chosen by their ancestors passing the honor down. The main locations of the Anasazi's government was in the corners of the states Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Arizona. ]]> 2017-08-16 15:33:08 UTC https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181279193 oboatright22 https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181285644 This is a map of where the Anasazis were located.

In the Anasazi's region it is very hot during the summer and they have very short winters. Some of the features of the region's land is very rocky and has many sandy deserts. One of the deserts in the land includes the Sonora Desert. The land also has many canyons and has some of the Grand Canyon in it. The region also has a river running through it which would help with farming.]]> 2017-08-16 20:26:38 UTC https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181332861 eprine22 https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181454225   The Anasazi were once a rich community of Native Americans living in the southwest area of the United States. Their climate was very hot and dry which they used to irrigate. In order to grow crops and farm, the Anasazis lived on plains. Their houses and villages were set up near deserts and the climate outside was very sunny. Many cliffs surrounded the region of the Anasazis. ]]> 2017-08-17 15:00:28 UTC https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181454225 eprine22 https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181459904     The Anasazi went to cliffs to worship their gods. They loved their gods and followed the 'choices' that they made. They also, believed in spirits of nature such as thunder, rain, and fire. At harvest or planting time the zunis and the hopis held ceremonies to insure rainfall for their crops. Masked dancers represented the spirits the worshiped. they believed that they would be rewarded with water during the harvest season if the dance was pleasing. ]]> 2017-08-17 15:23:39 UTC https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181459904 oboatright22 https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181633268 This is the Grand Canyon.

The language used by the anasazi civilization is past millennium. They speak Tanoan, Acoma, Zuni, and Navajo. The way the communicate with their people is called far-reach. ]]> 2017-08-18 14:58:37 UTC https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181634280 oboatright22 https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181636592     One important site of the Anasazi is the El Morro National Monument. El Morro is to the left of Blue Water State Park, and it's (N35.021086, W108.345081) The El Morro National Monument is a place where the tribe used to live. The monument has a watering hole that the Anasazi's used to use and has some ruins from them that have cool sandstone blocks almost falling down. El Morro also has a lots of small creek sandstone trails that you can come and hike on whenever you want.      
      Another important place is called the Puye Cliff Dwellings which are located in New Mexico. It's absolute location is (N35.944435, W106.117587) These Cliffs were places where the Anasazi people would come to meet and get water. The cliffs look like they have houses in the side of a mountain.
    The final historical place is called the Bonito Ruins. These are located in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico. Their absolute location is (N36.059145, W107.962203). The Bonito Ruins were used as social area but it was also used as a sacred, ceremonial site. This is where they would worship their Gods.]]> 2017-08-18 15:09:06 UTC https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181636592 oboatright22 https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181637087       Since the Anasazi were very spread out along the 4 corner states they have many different sites that are classified into different regions. These regions are called Chaco, which is in the Northwest corner of New Mexico, Northern San Juan(Mesa Verde),  which is located in the Southwest area of Colorado. The other two are called Kayenta and Cíbola.  Kayenta is located across the Northern Part of Arizona. The  Cíbola region is located in The South of Utah and the North of Arizona. The final region is called the Río Grande region, it takes up the entire state of New Mexico. ]]> 2017-08-18 15:11:33 UTC https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181637087 eprine22 https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181637860         The Anasazis adapted to their environment by using cave walls for their structures and houses. They depend on caves for things such weather protection and house building. They used mud and carved into caves to create their structures to modify their environment. The Anasazis ate mostly from the legume family (beans, peanuts, and chickpeas). The woman of the Anasazi tribe made clothing out of cotton. They built their adobe in caves to protect themselves from the weather. ]]> 2017-08-18 15:14:45 UTC https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181637860 eprine22 https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181663823 2017-08-18 17:19:14 UTC https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181663823 eprine22 https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181664067 2017-08-18 17:20:47 UTC https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181664067 eprine22 https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181665273 2017-08-18 17:27:37 UTC https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181665273 oboatright22 https://padlet.com/oboatright22/m5950nr8hkwj/wish/181741512 This is Turquoise.
