There
never was an "Anasazi" tribe, nor did any group of people call themselves by that name. Anasazi was the name given
to the people indigenously occupying two continents and islands referred to as "the Americas." We basically occupied
the vast forestland of North America for thousands of years. Our ancestors, the Anasazi spoke in our ancestral tongue of Algonquin.
We are all matrilineal, meaning that the family affiliation is solely regarded and maintained through the female family line,
and the children "belong" to the mother's family. We are matrilocal, basically deeming that husbands via ancestral
tradition move into the bride's family household. Our society is matriarchal, meaning that homes and farmland are owned by
and inherited from the mother, and as an Anasazi wife, one has the right to divorce and evict her husband. However, we were
able to live in a democracy for over three thousand years developing into an amazing agricultural society referred to as the
Mound Builders. These Black Mound Builders were the Washitaw-Muurs or Quachita - Moors, and many were huge as attested by
their ancient skeletons, which generally measured between 7 to 8 feet. The only other living people on Earth with such a massive
physique were the Massai of Afrika, another group of Blacks. Physical characteristics of the Anasazi are described as brown
with light to dark shades with red and yellow-pigmented skins. Our hair is described as bushy, nappy, wavy, and woolly. We
are racially described as "Negroes." Negro meaning "black" in Spanish was the only word spanish explorers
could use to describe the people that they met when they embarked upon this great and diverse civilization and culture.
