Religion
The Ancient Anasazi were a tribe without writing, so there religious and spiritual beliefs have been passed down orally for generation to generation. Like many other ancient tribes, the Anasazi believed strongly in the Creator which meant that every living thing was a part of the Creator. The opportune Anasazi tribes did not have the traditional beliefs in good and evil that are now believed in modish religions. They believed in a regulated universe, and they thought of "evil" as an imbalance between that regulated universe and humans. "Good" was a result of positive thinking and good actions.
The Anasazi loved nature and the Earth over everything else. Even today's Anasazi still believe that your responsibility is to honor the Earth. Allegedly, if every tribe follows their responsibility, their will be kinship. Staying dependable with the focus on nature, religous rituals were mainly focussed around survival in nature activities such as hunting and planting. Due to their barren location in the Southwest, a major spiritual figure was Avanyu, a water spirit.
It is an Anasazi belief that our current world is the fourth Earth to ever exist. The three before were destroyed by the Creator. The Anasazi, modern and ancient, believe that if we don't live up to our commitments to honor Earth, Mother Nature will destroy the world.
