Deep into the desert of New Mexico, past miles upon miles of dirt road, lies Chaco Canyon. Within that canyon sprawls the Anasazi Ruins, dating back to A.D. 700. Anasazi is a Navaho word which literally translates into "enemy ancestors", but has now come to mean "the ancient ones". Modern descendants of this culture object to this term, however, and choose the term Ancestral Pueblo peoples.
