The term “Anasazi” is a Navajo word = means “ancient enemy.”
The Apache and Navajo are from northwestern Canada and eastern Alaska.. Their Athabascan ancestors migrated south when the Spanish were moving north from new Spain / old Mexico..
Hopi call their ancestors: Hisatsinom
According to the Navajo I was listening to, he was quite emphatic that they came from the east. I have no dog in this fight, but it is interesting when traditions and science clash.
