How in the heck do you come across interesting articles like that? Mine was easy. It was an AP article.

Ancient History Of Moab's Surrounding Area

"During the same era, in the northern stretches of what is now the Moab/Green River area, there was another group of agriculturalists, the Freemont people, who also cultivated corn. The two cultures 'overlapped' across this region from A.D. 1 to A.D. 1275."

Beginning around 1200 A.D. both the Anasazi and Fremont begin leaving the area. Today, the Hopi, Zuni and some other Pueblo tribes, now living in New Mexico and Arizona, are thought to be the descendants of the Anasazi culture. The Fremont culture has no known link to any modern tribe.

Something I find peculiar in both these articles. They are referred to as Freemont People, not Freemont Indians.

Wonder why?
