Answer 1

All of the above pueblo people are descendants of the Anasazi culture. In fact, today most archaeologists no longer use the term 'Anasazi' and instead refer to that prehistoric culture as 'Ancestral Puebloan' to reflect the fact that they were the ancesters of today's pueblo people.

The Anasazi culture built the famous cliff-dwellings at Mesa Verde and the large cities at Chaco Canyon around a 1000 years ago. For reasons that are still uncertain, their social and economic system appears to have collapsed around 1200-1300 AD and resulted in the abandonment of towns and a significant decrease in population.

The 'survivors' of this collapse resettled in new areas and these became the pueblo communities that the first Spanish explorers found in the 1500s. Note that the word 'Anasazi' is something that early explorers used and is based on a Navajo word (meaning 'enemy ancestor'). The 'Anasazi' never actually called themselves 'Anasazi' and, in fact, they were probably never a single united group, but rather a collection of similar tribes with similar life-styles, but somewhat different customs and languages (like the pueblo tribes today).

The whole business of the Anasazi 'disappearing' is from early explorers who saw the ruins and wondered where the people have gone without really doing any research to find out. This 'mystery' remains in the public mind, even though archeaologists and historians have known the connection between Anasazi and modern pueblo tribes for decades. This connection is well established not only by extensive archaeological and DNA evidence, but even by the stories of the modern pueblos themselves (who often trace their pueblo's ancestors to specific Anasazi sites).

Note that the Navajo are NOT related to either the modern pueblos or the Anasazi. Both the Navajo and the Apache first migrated into the southwest long after the pueblo cultures and probably only shortly before the Spanish arrived.

See Linda Cordell's excellent book, "Archaeology of the Southwest"
