White House Ruin, Canyon de Chelley 2011 EDIT:The term “Anasazi” was established in 1927 through the archaeological Pecos Classification system ... The term is Navajo in origin, and means “ancient enemy.” The Pueblo peoples of New Mexico understandably do not wish to refer to their ancestors in such a disrespectful manner, so the appropriate term to use is “Ancestral Pueblo” or “Ancestral Puebloan.”
