Anasazi
THE ANASAZI AND CHACO CANYON 1993 FILM Synopsis: This film explored the life of the Anasazi people who once lived in settlements throughout the plateau country of the American Southwest. ... The viewer is presented with valuable information on the expansion of Southwestern peoples into virtually every available niche, which is perhaps best exemplified by the Anasazi of the Chaco canyon. ... The film showed how the Anasazi were farmers who planted their fields in along drainages where floodwaters would spread after heavy rains, but they also collected and hunted a wide range of wild plants and animals for food. ... The purpose of this film was to understand the Anasazi and their relationship with the earth, but more importantly discuss why these people one-day abandoned their home all together.
