Anasazi People

I lived in the southwestern part of the United States of America.  My people lived in houses called pueblos.  We built these pueblos on top of mesas or high, flat-topped hills.  We learned how to farm on the dry lands of the southwest. We hunted small animals for food, when we couldn't get crops.  Thus you can say that we were hunter-gatherers.  We didn't trade much as we only hunted and gathered food.  My people had 4 different periods of which we were important to the world.  The first two periods were when we were in the southwest part of the United States.  We stayed in a part known as the four corners.  Utah, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico.  We made very good baskets and sandals.  We are also known as the basketmakers.  We stored our dead and surplus food in deep pits.
