The name Anasazi has been changed to ancient puebloans in part because the Zuni consider the Anasazi their ancestors, as do the Hopi. Can you tell us how Zuni and Hopi are related?

From my experience on a Hopi trip with GCMRC in 1997 working as a guide, the elders were deeply disturbed by the use of the word “Anasazi” to refer to their ancestors – yet Jason used that word throughout his presentation. I’ve been referring to those people who lived in the canyon (to my passengers especially) as Puebloans. Is there any consensus between you as to what we or how you’d prefer we refer to the “Puebloans”?
