The term comes from the Navajo language, and can be variously translated as "ancient ancestors," or "ancient enemies," giving an unfortunate connotation to people who, it turns out, were not ancestors or even enemies contemporary with the Navajo people. Today's descendamts of the Anasazi are the people of the modern Pueblos, so the term "Ancestral Puebloans" to describe their ancestors, is much preferred.</I>clairzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076402619649343527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-81042616718852899272008-07-20T14:45:00.000-06:002008-07-20T14:45:00.000-06:00Interesting...never encountered the word "Puebloan...Interesting...never encountered the word "Puebloan" before.Towandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245494480579308875noreply@blogger.com
