The Anasazi Indians ground corn with stones. The stones probably had to be carved with a sharper stone. They would grind the corn into flour, which was used to make bread or cornbread. Anasazi babies were carried on the backs of their mother strapped into a backboard, which was probably made of tree bark. Young children learned from their parents. Young children often wore no clothes, but parents usually wore skirts.
Anasazi pueblos had open courts called plazas where the women talked while they worked and dogs and turkeys ran free. On special occasions they would gather there and feast, sing, and dance.
Under the plazas they built rooms called "KIVAS." They were round with a fireplace in the middle of the floor. In those, men gathered to talk, work, sing, and preform ceremonies. The Anasazi were happy and healthy people.
My name is Whitney. I am a student of John Pattie Elementary School and I am also 8 years old. I love researching so I had a good time researching on these interesting Anasazi Indians.
