When the Anasazi came from the underworld through a portal called sipapu to the surface of the earth, the Creator showed them how to find a location of harmony and balance. There they built their pueblos. The Creator told them to treat the ressources with respect and how to be aware of the seasons. He also filled them with a deep awareness of spirituality and sacred places and a reverence for their origins.
The Anasazi chose sites close to a water source, fertile grounds, game, firewood and other useful ressources and they respected a balance between their own needs and nature. They developted methods to predict seasonal changes and some mountans and prominent buttes were sacred places for them.
