Some Anasazi created new towns -- much smaller --
as riverside pueblos. Others went to Hopi and Zuni towns in present
Arizona and New Mexico, merging with the populations of those nations,
whose cultural growth they strongly influenced. Visit the present day Pueblo Cultural Center where there is some info on most of the 19 Pueblos (tribes) of the area.
