Tribe members and roles
Anasazi priests were the most important members of the tribe. The priests primary roles were to create and enforce religious laws. Headmen were older members and the most powerful of the tribal leaders. There would usually be at least one Headmen for each village or tribe. The roles of the women were to teach the girls to cook and make pottery. The men taught the boys to hunt, plant crops, and build damns. The villages were made up of about 10-25 people for about 10-20 years.
Ways of life
The Anasazi began to settle and developed societies and cultures around the four corners. The four corners was the area of the southwest, southern Utah, Colorado, North Arizona, and New Mexico. They were very connected to the land, even in the desert they were able to find water, build dams, and grow crops. Much of their survival was to overcome the dry land and the many droughts. The Anasazi were successful because they planted the seeds very deep in the soil so that they could absorb the most water. They were able to store water in underground holes and store food in clay jars to survive droughts. The Anasazi spent much of their time farming, creating dams, and building their homes. Most of their homes were built underground so they could survive the hot summers and very cold winters.
