Anasazi Lies? Taking the Past Back.

- In this video Navajo Historian, Wally Brown, teaches the traditional Navajo teachings surrounding Chaco Canyon.
It's an ugly history and goes against the popular opinion of anthropologists.
The oral stories surrounding the Anasazi people paint a much different picture.
A violent people whose economy is based on slavery. A people who worshiped the darkness and participated in human sacrifice.
Most of our Navajo people know the stories we have are different than the popular narrative from the anthropologists.
We travel to Chaco and walked through the ruins. Through the "Place of Crying".

I have an MA in Anthropology. I'm an electrician by trade and familiar with building techniques, survival, agriculture, and some so-called primitive technologies. Simply by observing the building locations toward the end of the Anasazi period you can tell many were living in fear of someone and something horrific. It's common sense. So I believe these Navajo stories. Not because of hatred but because it makes sense.
they were afraid of the sky
So fascinating! Many years ago, growing up in New Mexico, I asked some of my Dine friends about the Anasazi. I had noticed that they seemed repulsed by the ruins. They said that those were evil places, but did not explain further. Thank you for this explanation.
Is this Chaco Canyon?
He's covered in other videos that the Navajo don't like to talk about "evil" because they believe to talk about evil gives it power. That's why most white people don't know the truth about the Anasazi.

@@thechiefwildhorse4651so say the archaeologists who have been proved wrong many times over. You may not know any Dine history IDK but the oral of the Dine say nothing of coming from the north 800 years ago.
It's not archeology genius, it's genetic testing and genealogy testing. We cal tell migration paths from DNA. Maybe learn some shit before being confidently incorrect.
I find this fascinating. I was one of a group of people the last year that visitors were allowed into the Great Kiva at Chaco Canyon for summer solstice. It was an amazing experience to see the light shine into the space as the sun rose. I tried to imagine what it might have been like when the kiva was in use. I never imagined that it could have such an evil history. I put much more faith in the traditional stories than I do in the supposed "truths" told to us by mainstream archeologists. It is important that these stories are preserved.
@@mountainstream8351 You know, it was the mid 90's, so a long time ago. I don't remember keying in on either a positive or negative vibe. I just remember being fascinated that something with that great precision was erected so long ago.
These stories he's saying are not true and Chaco is not an evil place. The Hopi, Zuni, Acoma, Tacoma etc. highly disagree with these stories.
This guy doesn't know what he's talking about. The "Anasazi " were long gone when the Navajo wandered into Hopi Land. They were scared of our food because all they ate was raw meat. He's probably trying to lay a foundation for claiming our food, deities, culture, and land.
@@the_endgamei’m hopi and the elders i’ve spoke to have told similar stories, the anasazi were evil people who used bad medicine and took/stole ceremonial teachings and used them for bad. it had got to the point where everyone gained up on them and killed them because they were evil. he is not wrong
,,,he is closer to the Truth,than you could ever hope to be!
My grandfather told similar stories about this subject, and he never told the stories in the house because of the evilness attached to what happened.
Interesting! It seems to me it matters in this beautiful culture how things are spoken of. We too easily take violence as entertainment. These people deliberately choose beauty and good so do not lightly speak of evil, except when a wise person sees a value as our kind teacher here does. The context matters and in the gentle tone it’s a living context. My impression of “ repressed” stories, here where someone is generously showing it, is that these gentle cultures here in the southwest, whose perspective is priceless, learned humility and kindness and simplicity and respect out of suffering. How priceless to be allowed to kearn a little from the raw facts history and also the way it is told. How can we afford to not cherish this perspective? I’m afraid of anyone or anything wanting to cash in on such things. Save oak flat. The worlds largest surface copper deposit can’t possibly be worth more than this
Wisdom.
@@tangelohallllc9882 I've been watching many stories of tribes and small towns recently.
Generally speaking murder and genocide are accepted in a closed system even if certain elements of that society wish it hadn't come to that. Once the possibility of retribution dissolves to time the generation of regret passes.
Today we engage an open systen governed by laws that may develop into a country wide closed system.
Lets hope the darkness doesn't win.
Wow thats realy telling. Was your family Dine/ Navajo?
@@Sam-ck4gd yes
I wish I could spend forever learning from this man. He knows so much, and not just about Anasaza. I am old in years, but I feel like a child when I listen to him talk about things. He knows so much, and I know so little.
I understand your sentiments, i was found by this channel weeks ago
I feel as you do. Dine` beliefs make more sense than what most of us have learned or been taught.
That's quite a claim. He is dene. If you are Dine (and he is) you are taught from very young not to lie. It might just be a matter of him having a different world view than you have. That's okay. It's not right or wrong to have a different world view, and it doesn't mean he is lying just because his world view doesn't match up with yours. It doesn't mean that you are lying either. The two of you just see things differently.
If you think he is lying, it is on you to prove that he is. So tell me why you think he's lying?
@@michaelcharlesthearchangel why do you say that?

Thank you you guys,I’m glad to hear the stories from people who actually know what they are talking about instead of the people who just guess and come up up with their own version instead of talking to the people who have been there for a thousand years
Stories are like a barrel of a gun, they just guide you the right way, if the teller wants you to go the right way, and if you agree.. You are like the bullet, you must use your own powder to fulfill your own momentum into the direction of your favorite story!
Because archeological evidence means guessing 😅
@@jonnybgoode7742 if people want to really know the history you gotta cross reference stories passed down or it is a lot of guess work and theory. After all, isn't a big part of a scientists job is to theorize and hypothesize?
EDIT: to clarify, I'm not anti archeology, I just think you need to cross reference every sorce with every other sorce and figure out which dots make a straight line. That's how you find truth.
@@annebird9195 theorize and hypothesis based on?.... evidence right?... until more evidence can be found to either prove or discredit said hypothesis/theory right?...
@@annebird9195history is full of lies. The loudest liers win!
I appreciate this great man, because he reminds me of other wise men from the past. You can tell he’s not looking for praise he is plainly sharing these stories without even a hint of falsehood. He is telling the truth and I believe to help pass on good and correct understanding. I don’t have an Indian heritage myself yet I love learning from him. I’ve known some people in life who are unwilling to share useful information (they withhold it) therefore not helping others. This wise man is the opposite because he cares enough to pass it on. I see that as a strong character trait!
Thank you for sharing dear sir
@@ANCESTOR- I agree some things should be kept secret indeed. Because there are those in life that abuse things they’re given so it’s best to keep it a secret. On the other hand some things revealed can be helpful if received properly. You’re right though and like it says In Deuteronomy 29:29 the secret things belong to God then goes on to talk about the things that are revealed are for us and our children etc.
I learned more in this 15 minute video about the Anasazi than in all of my history classes and on every TV documentary.
Now learn from the Anasazi themselves, they are still here.
Me too!

Love hearing the language spoken unbroken. Please continue to have him speak to save this for the future. Blessings ✌️❤️
It is a worthy thing to preserve such wisdom that I would not hear - but I have ears to hear, and now we are in a new time. A time when one voice may share knowledge through generations.
This has the ring of truth. I grew up in Colorado and Arizona and used to love exploring. Coming across ruins was commonplace. At some, the despair, the horror, dread..and the uncountable loss I would feel near some of them made my insides clench..such imagery ran through my mind. I have profound respect for what the ancestors of he contemporary nations endured.
I am always humbled by the teachings told by Wally Brown, he is such a fantastic story teller. It' is so good to hear the history passed down from a people that would know what they are talking about, verses the revisionist stories told by people that regularly change history to suit their narrative.
Hahaha!
I learn something wow .
Knowing what little I know of the Navajo people when I read the history of Chaco Canyon that wrongfully said there was famine so they started to cannibalize one another I knew that was a flat out lie. Living up so high and hidden in the cliffs was obviously a defensive position for your people to take and surely not an easy way of life. Thank you for the true history.
Canabals were a fact.....proven by clues!
The reason they lived up so high was the fear of being eaten and enslaved.....
Yes - the Anasazi probably came from Mexico (Aztecs) and found a people ripe to be dominated and terrorized. The Anasazi used brutal acts of cannibalism and dismemberment that the Aztecs practiced. They cooked heads face up to bake the brains for dinner.
@@Philip-xk5uiThe Anasazi were the ones cannibalizing and enslaving.
Chaco is not Navaho but people from northern Mexico
I fell into the Anasazi rabbit hole last night. I watched documentaries from the 70s until now, that was probably 4 hours of my night, you gave me more in the first 4 minutes then I had all night. Ty
So tragic and sad, but 100% believable. I tip my hat to Mr.Brown for his knowledge, his eloquence, and his big heart.
Growth is always a gift imparted by suffering meant for our benefit, if we will receive it. I live in Dine territory not far from the Indian Highway. Much of the same style of Baal-like ritualistic entertainment reminds me of many Dine and other native warning stories. Thank you for teaching the history. Only word of mouth and stone tell tales in the end
Demonic rituals always call for human sacrifices. Horrible vibes and devoid of consciousness in those altars
Anasazi and Anunaki aren't far off etymologically speaking. Not saying they are the same beings, but they do have similar qualities (or lack thereof).
sometimes, it's alright if you reject suffering, and stuff it up the posterior of whomever offers it to you.
pack it in there good where it belongs. free west papua, 62 years of silent genocide for u.s. gold mining.
make sure it's packed extra tight.
@@homiesenatepIsn't the Christian religion based around a human sacrifice?
You are sir are a national treasure. Please keep making these videos...
I lived in New Mexico for over 12 years and have visited Chaco many times. Altnough it is impressive architecturally, there is an overwhelming dark energy present. Most non-Native people I've talked to thought it was this great spiritual place, but I've always felt very uneasy entering that canyon. It was an undeniable feeling that I cant say I've experienced anywhere else. I would carry that feeling sometimes for days aftering leaving. The prevailing theories about Chaco culture never made sense to me. There was so much not explained.
It wasn't until years, and several visits, later that I learned some of the real history of the ruins through some of my Jemez friends. One friend told me they "were messing with things they should not be messing with." I heard that they were trying to change time and the weather and that they had to be destroyed. Most of my Native friends would say very little if anything about that place. That always made me wonder. I also learned from friends who worked for the US Forrest Service about some bizzare archeological and forensic findings including bones, etc. Most of this information is not available in books or on the internet. But, thanks to men like Mr. Brown we can know more of the truth.
There was evidence in an article about 10 years back that claimed there was evidence in the bone piles of human sacrifice. Scratches on human bones and so I think Wallys oral history is truer than what we learned.
Recently, archeologists are trained not to see human sacrifice, even taught that "there is no evidence" for it. Evidence and sites are reinterpreted, so that even things with NO other logical explanation are reburied academically.
I know of one place which now is said to have been a used for rituals involved in treaties between people groups. But what had been found there decades before, showed that children and infants had been sawn into pieces before ritual burial. Evil.
That is very interesting! Thank you for sharing!
That feeling of DARKNESS or uneasiness comes from your own dark history of the United States. They were masters of time and space and marked celestial events. Not trying to change time or nature. That was done by biliganas (Caucasians) and is still being done today. The Cern experiment has messed up the timeline and global warming is driving cloud seeding, trying to control the weather. We don't believe that Caucasians should be destroyed because they're doing that, so what on earth would make you think that Navajos would want to destroy a people for thinking different? Friends who worked for the US Forest Service?? Sounds like BS...pardon my french. The national database on artifacts excavated from these sites proves that their was never any ritualistic sacrifices or prisoners held at ANY of these pueblos. PROVE ME WRONG
I remember watching a documentary from the 90s (I think--could have been early 2000s) where an archaeologist had found evidence that the Anasazi, in at least one ruin, had practiced cannibalism. It caused quite a bit of controversy at the time, but since then there have been more discoveries, plus listening to the oral traditions, that seem to validate those findings.
they didn't practice cannibalism, they were cannibalized.
'somehow' a dimensional portal was opened and 6 fingers/6 toes foot giants human flesh eaters came to this world and start the feast.
The problem is Dine/Navajo-Pueblo animosity going back to ancient times confounds the issue and complicating it was a clueless archeologist in the early 20th Century using the name "Anasazi" to name the ancient culture of the area who were clearly a Pueblo people and not "outsiders" as the name implies especially as they were there long before the Navajo/Dine peoples arrived. So when cannibalism was discovered in the "Anasazi" culture, a backlash ensued against the perceived bias of both Western and Navajo/Dine perspectives. But as the documentary shows, the cannibalism did not originate with that ancient Pueblo culture. It makes its appearance around the 10th Century CE and disappears after the 12th Century which fits in with the old tales. So the "Anasazi" that most people think of were actually ancient Pueblo peoples living there for thousands of years and the "Anasazi" of the Dine tales were an outside group from the South (most likely Mexico) who dominated the area for a short time and were eventually destroyed.

Fascinating history. I watch hikers on UA-cam who come across all the broken pottery and ruins and they have no idea about this history and meaning. Ive always wondered and im so glad i found this channel.
Great to see Uncle Wally out & about!! Aho 💚
My eyes have been opened to things that I did not know.
I first visited Chaco in 1994 with two friends. I had several weird experiences, and felt sick in several places there; in one place my friends suddenly sat down and started to fall asleep. I felt odd too, dazed, but finally just said, we need to get out of here! Come on! and we ran out of there. One of my friends illegally took a pottery shard home with her. The next year, she had several odd debilitating accidents which suspended her dancing career, her mother got cancer, her house burned down, etc. She felt it came from that shard, so she travelled back across the country to return it, and her life got back on track. I've been back a couple of times when I moved to New Mexico and had work nearby. I felt nothing but bad vibes there, never the "admiration" you're encouraged to feel for this "advanced" civilization. I've read several books about the evidence of cannibalism and ritual murder that have been found there. It's a very spooky place. Also there is clear evidence of connections between Chaco culture and the Aztecs, who were also pure evil. Those who celebrate Aztecs today are part of the death cult that reigns in Mexico.
I can respect aspects of the Azteca. Not sure if I think any human is pure evil.
But you're 100% right that it's incredibly suspect that people feel this pride in having Aztec blood lol. There's this push by the dark one to divide and it's targeting European blooded folks, when even the worst vikings or conquistadors probably paled in comparison to the average Aztec warrior. There's a reason so many tribes teamed up against them with the European invasion.
Best not to judge. We are all evolving. There is always some behaviour e can be judged on. I try to remind myself that a seed only grows in the soil that is fertile for it. Many native Americans went into judgment as they had faith in the great spirit being in control. ❤
I don't think anyone else dicusses this information about the Anasazi. I find it riveting. I really appreciate it. Ty.
Growing up. Being Navajo my grandparents and my mother told us never to go near ancient ruins. Not to touch or play around them. There is evil and bad spirits there. In Navajo there alot of Taboos about our people going near ruins. My grandparents were kinda upset my two aunts married into pueblo families. Because their ways were totally different from ours but eventually they became to deal with it.
I never went there but even seeing photos and videos of Chaco left me with a bad feeling. Thank you for helping me understand why!
Wow! U r so sensitive. Its good that by just seeing the pics u r getting a negative feeling. I wish I could also feel like that as its an important skill in many ways.
Thank you. The Creator’s Holy People are defeating wicked giants every day. Grateful of the Navajo to share their experiences. Humanity shares this in common and now we know.
It's always interesting to listen to Wally speak about his people. Its very fascinating and enlightening.
Lived in Arizona for fifty years. Love our land. As for the video, I just want to say it explains much about the feelings we get sometimes. Thanks so much.
This explains a lot about why the cliff dwellers lived up so high and why their homes were not easy to get to. Thank you for the video, I had never heard this before and it explains so much about the different building styles as well.
Thankyou for your explanation of cliff dwellers. Now only I understood why they stayed so much up on the cliff so as not to be attacked by the Anasazi.
Now for the real truth. ! We are fighting this same evil today in the world.. Amazing that the historians have hidden this from us ! This is very relevant to our present times.
❤
What I was thinking
Ashkenazi?
It's crazy. I've been watch stuff on UA-cam that say that the
Anasazi and ancestral pueblo where same people. But this says different. Love the story this fella tells. ❤
Thank you for sharing the precious wisdom of your elders. Everyone should be encouraged to do the same.
Now this really opened my eyes! Thank you Wally, for teaching me 💙
Before watching this I believed the Cliff dwellers were Anasazi. What an education! Thank you so much!
It's an honor to see and hear from this man. Before this continent was stolen from its true inhabitants, their country was radiant and amazing. Thank U
The Navajo stole it from several other “tribes”. No one owns it. It gets occupied for awhile. All people have been migrating all over the planet since our beginning,
Wow, this is fascinating. When I was young, there was a summer gathering with drumming circle where I live, I remember being brought to tears listening to the beautiful sound of the drumming and the voices. Not a drop of Native ancestry in my history, but that doesn't mean something in the universal language of music didn't speak directly into my spirit. I feel kindred, if nothing else. Thank you for sharing your history.
Thank you for clarifying the history of the Anasazi, it changed my whole perception of them.
It is Good that the old, real histories have found a way to stay with us. I am Inuvialuit first peoples, and I am NOT happily assimilated. I continuously seek out stories from ALL Citizens of All Cultures of Turtle Island. We are not gone, extinct, detritus or even replaceable.
Indeed, have you spoken to the European tribes? The Welsh, the Frisians etc? There are plenty of unassimilated groups of people that would love to talk to you about your perspectives
Yes but if you want to know about ancient Puebloan people it might be more accurate to consult present Puebloan people not a tribe that just recently took over their lands.

Does anyone else feel more at peace within themselves after listening to this man?
A slave uprising would be a much more likely explanation for the disappearance of the Anasazi than the five year drought we were taught as children (Not that one couldn't have triggered the other). And it's not hard to imagine such a constructive civilization was based on slavery, especially when you consider their neighbors to the south.
but there are records of the flood that came after.....

Had a beautiful Dine family pick me up in the desert today when it was 100 degrees. They were coming the back way from Alamo towards To’hajiilee. I lost count how many Pueblos passed me by.
Finally, I get to hear a true history of the Anasazi. Even to this day, the ruins of the Anasazi are said to be a favorite haunt of numerous evil spirits/entities.
If you want to hear the "true" history it would be better to ask their direct descendants the Hopi, Zuni, Acoma, Tacoma etc and not Navajo who were their enemies.
It's evil alright. 😮
Once again I am grateful for the lesson. I was one of the misinformed people who believed that they were a wise and great people (the Anasazi). I'm glad to know the truth behind the misconception so I can help educate others.
I first learned about the Anasazi from a book called “She who remembers” featuring Kokopelli, I never knew about their dark offerings. Amazing info about their demise. Thank you
Oh wow, I read those "She Who Remembers" books as a young adult, decades ago! I felt strangely drawn to Native American culture at that time. ( As far as I know, I don't have Native American ancestry) I had no idea about the true nature of the Anasazi.
kokopelli the travelling minstrel of the Southwest, who bedeviled the young ladies with his flute playing, dancing and mischievousness, the 'god' of fertility? Who left many a teepee before the front flap could hit him in the rear.
That was a fantastic novel, I remember it too.

Thank you, Grandfather Wally. What you tell us are always lessons for us to learn. I greatly appreciate your explanations, and those are difficult to dispute. Also, it sounds like you are having some breathing difficulties. You are in my prayers. You are a true treasure of the Dine, and although I am not of your People, I have nothing but the deepest and most sincere respect for you, and for the Dine. May the Great Spirit provide your needs in abundance.
The history of the Dine is fascinating. I have not heard before of the legend that the cliff dwellers and the Dine had merged and eradicated earlier slave-holding groups. That makes perfect sense and seems to fit with archaeological observations. Thank you.
The slave-holding people were not "earlier." They came from the south and enslaved the peoples who had been living in this southwest area for thousands of years. Their reign of terror was only about 300 years.
It was NOT the dine ppl who eradicated, but their gods, the Navajo never take any responsibility of what the gods do, that's a big no no if they do...if they did they wouldn't be any better than those evil cannibals.
@@cyn2612My theory is that it was the slaves of the Anazasi who had to resort to cannibalism.
4:36 this is strange bewildering truth for me, about these legends. Their truths harken back to a time when secrets outweigh what is known.
This dovetails neatly with controversial archeological findings that Anasazi human remains show characteristic signs of butchery and cannibalism. These signs appear late in the history of the cliff dwellers after a migration of people from Aztec territory in the south, as I recall.
Good morning Elder Wally! Good morning Shane! I’m so grateful for you both for sharing & bringing us this knowledge, thank you!! I’m in northern Arizona & never got a good vibration from the Anasazi & their dwellings but I had no idea that they went to the dark side. I have a hard time believing anything we’ve been told about his-story since the majority seems to have agendas & misdirection woven throughout, so I truly appreciate you sharing this untainted truth. Napoleon supposedly said something about history is written by the victors & I think that makes sense more so now than ever. I hope to learn much more from you & wish I could do so in person someday. I have nothing but love & respect for you & I want your knowledge, lessons, stories & wisdom to carry on & on & on! Thank you kindly❤️

Thank you, this was clearly a difficult but important topic to cover.
Shocking and so very sad. There are some fragmented stories about how some of the people who came from the land of the south ended up, going into the eastern part of the southern half of North America. They had an influence on the architecture and some of the cultural things that were happening in the southeast. There’s another rumor that said that they would push as far in land as they could, and they would take captives and make slaves of them. Some of the Warriors would have black snakes or serpents or dragons or something like that tattooed on their back, covering their shoulder blades and going onto their shoulders. I’ve talked to a few people about this, and not many people have heard of this. There are legends and stories, mostly fragmented talk about people who built stacked stone and piled stone walls in what is now Georgia and up into the mountains. There was one story to talk to about how they had built a stone temple on top of the mountain. Inside the temple, there was a statue of a snake or serpent with red stone eyes. these are things I have been told. I don’t know whether these things are true or not, but they are very striking stories. Especially the part about the cultural exchange and the slavery. These people were called “the snake people “and they were very violent people. They were obsessed with wealth and power.

Wally's teachings seem to confirm an archeologist's findings from 25 years ago that the Anasazi were cannibals. When the news got out, the Navajo leaders went public to discredit the archeologist.
Chaco means the place of crying,very fitting name. I have personally had paranormal experiences there.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom ❤
Thank you so much for that history lesson!
Every people likes to tell their side of their history. Of course they’ll most likely paint themselves are the righteous ones…
It is probably true that all the tribes in pre-Colombian did terrible things. However some tribes or civilizations were more evil than others of course… ;)
I’ll watch this again and again.
What a beautiful language! I want to learn more about these amazing people!
Thank you for sharing this. The only way to keep history from repeating itself is to remember and learn from the past. Evil should not have enough power to enslave people again.
Their is more slaves today then 300 years ago. Especially sex trafficking
Evil has always been here, just clothed as your neighbor an dressed in suit an tie(GOV)
I learned that the Anasazi were not well liked among their neighbors, to put it mildly. Don't know where I got that, but I have always been interested in archeology, so I picked it up somewhere. Seemed like archeologists tried their best to find other reasons for what they found, but it was like an Olympic sized stretch.
I watch these for better understanding. This is why the tradition of oral story telling for history is so very important. thank you.
thank you for the teachings, i have a tendency to believe what you are saying. i am grateful to learn. i had s roommates who were navajo and one who was hopi the navajo, then my other was mexican. i lived and played with native children in their homes and outside when i was a child myself in the moutains of montana. my roomates lived in farmington, new mexico area. i loved them because we played hiked and did almost every everything together. i dreamed as a child to live with the indigenous people. my dad said said i had almostmore native in me, because of my actions home erc..t was accused by people that i was a native child, when living in a foster home, it made me happy they'. when i was born my hair was pitch black and skin olive the hosp, wondered if i had indigenous in me,. then a straight line medicine man who's name two trees told my friend he believed i had native in me. i feel love for you and grateful if i do have indigenous in me, i feel honored i do.
‼️A'HO‼️We love you so very much Mr.Wally Thank you for all the wonderful wisdom you give to us. ✨️All good blessings to you and your family ✨️
Absolutely fantastic video! They keep getting better and better.
This is the truth. Clearly, these persons brought the darkness with them from another place. With slavery and human sacrifice, their origin was much farther south.
Thank you for this enlightening, informative and beautiful video!! Thank you for sharing this history!
Fascinating. Your presentation helped answer many of my questions.
Thank you very much for teaching us your traditions and knowledge! Love to you!
I love your channel. Thank you for sharing your wisdom ❤️🔥
Thank you, Honored Teacher. The future will appreciate this history you are saving. Many blessings to you and your team.
Maney years ago I traveled to Chaco . Perhaps it is cursed. With in a year the life I had lived was destroyed. I traveled very far away . changed ever dark way I was involved . I was sorry and changed . Today I begin to comprehend how a life of peace is to be lived. Thank you for sharing. Means a lot.
It’s an Honor to hear these stories! Thank you for sharing!❤
I've watched your videos for a few years now and I think you are fascinating to listen to. You have knowledge that everyone needs to listen to.
Tradition says that the Anasazi came from the south and despite what the scholars claim, I believe that the Anasazi were actually Mayans that traveled north. There are way too many similarities in their respective cultures to dismiss and their differences may be why this tribe of Mayans moved north. Scholars also say that they don't know what happened to either peoples but thanks to this information it now appears they were destroyed by the combined effort of the very people they enslaved.
Thank you for your teachings, Elder. I’m learning a lot. You are an excellent teacher. This is great information. Is a shame they don’t teach this stuff in schools, they only teach lies. You should write books about all this for future generations so is not forgotten. Thank you again Honorable Elder.
Western academia has mucked this up a lot. At first there was the tendency to dismiss oral histories as Old Wives' Tale drivel. Then there was the desire to readdress past wrongs of Eurocentric notions of supremacy by casting all Native Americans as a peaceful people (an echo of the old Noble Savage concept). When evidence of cannibalism was discovered there was a want to dismiss it as a ghost of the old Eurocentric theories of savage peoples ie it was insulting to native peoples. Yet the whole time there has been these old handed down tales of the local peoples who had lived in the area for a long time until the arrival of a new group of people possibly from northern Mexico. Archeologists confounded things by labeling Pueblo groups as Anasazi going back to 200 AD but the tales which now more modern archeology supports is an outside group that arrived later rather than grew out of the older culture. It makes more sense that a smaller but more militaristic group perhaps associated with the Toltecs or driven out by them arrived in the area and dominated it through force and fear. Perhaps the fear of being overwhelmed by the greater (but disunited) local populations caused them to be more brutal in their dominance of the area. We can see that the customs of Northern Mexico were so different and strange to the local people hence the name "Anasazi."
Again, the problem is modern thinking mucking things up. You have Hopi and Zuni taking offense at Anasazi cannibalism because the cliff-dwellers going back nearly 2000 years were labeled "Anasazi" (a Navajo word) by early clueless 20th Century archeologists. So when some western archeologists later makes claims of cannibalism, it is seen as an insult to the people living there now and their ancestors. But the tales and the later archeology support each other. Cannibalism did not originate when this culture first arose, only later. And more importantly it stopped after the "Anasazi" disappeared or in other words when they were destroyed as according to the old tales. And we know cannibalism was practiced in Mesoamerica most notably the Aztecs who were from the Chichimeca peoples. The Anasazi of the old tales (not the archeological named group) could have been a part of these people bringing their customs of ritual sacrifice cannibalism and into the region but intensifying them to keep the population subservient.
**TL;DR:** the old tales were more or less right and modern academia is starting to catch up though the ghosts of old Eurocentric concepts still linger. It also doesn't help the age-old animosity between local groups
