THE ANASAZI
INDIANS
The Anasazi Indians lived in the USA
over 1,000 years ago. Their houses
were in the side of a "mesa" - a rock in the
shape of a high, flat table. The buildings
looked like large blocks of flats and there
were over 200 rooms. There were windows
in the houses, but no doors. To get into their
homes, the Anasazi climbed a ladder and
jumped through a hole in the roof! This was
also a way of keeping out unwelcome
visitors. The Anasazi were farmers. They
lived at the bottom of the mesa, but farmed
on top of it. The area where they lived is
called Mesa Verde (Spanish for "green
table"). To get up and down the mesa, they
made small holes in the rock for their toes
and fingers!
-he Anasazi grew corn and beans.
They kept turkeys to eat and used the
feathers to make their blankets and clothes
warmer. The women made beautiful pots
and baskets for carrying things. Even the
children had jobs: they helped grind the
corn and looked after the younger children.
The Anasazi disappeared very suddenly
and no one knows exactly what
happened to them - perhaps they left their
village to look for food and water, or perhaps
they were killed by other Native Americans.
-oday, you can visit the Anasazi ruins
at Mesa Verde National Park and
imagine what a colourful and interesting life
the Anasazi Indians lived.
