RE: What's Wrong With The Term Anasazi, You Might Ask?
Great article. I spent three weeks in that area a.o. mesa verde, New mexico and Colorado and remember stories from the guides about great forced movements of tribes leading ot a lot of misery but that is another subject. Thx!
no kidding! i'd love to hear your stories! :)
ah the guides LOL were they native american or nps?
well, i can say that during the "takeover" as i call it that most of the ute kept their lands but they want to roam free like have the all of colorado state like they used too. LOL
my tribes (the ones in this post) left long before the ute and others came along. :)
yes, my hopi tribe were not happy about being pushed south nor my apache ancestors who were nomads to the Nth degree happy about being told where or what to do. LOL thats another story for sure.
I best remember canyon de chelly which (nowadays) is a Navajo reservate. The guides were Navajo and awaited us in jeeps early in the morning at the local hotel. They did tell us the Original people were other tribes.http://www.americansouthwest.net/arizona/canyon_de_chelly/national_monument.html
