The Ancestral Puebloans were an ancient Native American culture that spanned the present-day Four Corners region of the United States, comprising southeastern Utah, northeastern Arizona, northwestern New Mexico, and southwestern Colorado.[1] In contemporary times, the people and their archaeological culture were referred to as Anasazi for historical purposes. The Navajo, who were not their descendants, called them by this term, which meant "ancient enemies". Contemporary Puebloans do not want this term to be used.[2][3](from Wikipedia) Mesa Verde National Park https://crowcanyon.org/index.php/galleries/artifacts-gallery https://www.crowcanyon.org/EducationProducts/pueblo_history_kids/introduction.asp https://www.nps.gov/meve/learn/education/artifact_gallery.htm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AipUm_Y_dzA&feature=youtu.be https://www.nps.gov/media/video/view.htm?id=4814CE74-1DD8-B71B-0B3C190C010AD068 Canyon De Chelly https://www.nps.gov/cach/learn/historyculture/index.htm Chaco Canyon https://www.exploratorium.edu/chaco/HTML/canyon.html Hohokam https://www.arizonamuseumofnaturalhistory.org/plan-a-visit/mesa-grande/the-hohokam https://www.nps.gov/articles/hohokam-culture.htm https://www.nps.gov/cagr/learn/historyculture/the-ancestral-sonoran-desert-people.htm MOUND Builders Adena, Hopewell, Mississipian peoples https://cahokiamounds.org/educate/#tab-id-7 https://cahokiamounds.org/cahokia-map/ https://cahokiamounds.org/explore/#tab-id-4 Canyon - deep narrow valley with steep sides https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/canyon/ Mesa - A mesa is a flat-topped mountain or hill https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/mesa/ https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/landform/
