Does Mumford & Sons deal in religious imagery that sounds like it was written by someone who had lived on a High Plains dry farm for the last 10 years with only the Bible for company? No? Then they don't have shit on 16 Horsepower.

Well, the Beatles didn't wait 3 years after the release of their first album. What did the Beatles release 3 years after Please Please Me? Ahh.. Yesterday and Today and Revolver. Not exactly soundalikes.

@avclub-3be42d8a3412057f79af152555e39bd4:disqus As to how the name Anasazi came to be used… I am not sure, but the links (as I understand) are quite clear. The religious symbology is very similar, the ruins contain the big round "kivas" still used by the Pueblos, current tribes have stories connecting them to specific…

Naw, I'm in Denver, but have been to New Mexico quite a bit, and read up on the Southwestern cultures quite a bit.

@avclub-1e850f6bef0bc36ca1f64e95ff1cbd2e:disqus There is a difference between native American and Native American. Just like the difference between blue berries and blueberries: http://youtu.be/K_bEXeTwrC8

Why does this sound like part of the setup for an episode of Party Down.

Actually, I bet it was the term "Anasazi" that was the problem as "Hopi" seems to be their own name for themselves (according to Wikipedia). "Anasazi" is Navajo, and (I've heard) means "ancestors of our enemies", the "enemies" referring to the Puebloan tribes, including the Hopi. Thus, "Ancestral Puebloan" is the term…

Yeah, you don't want to get mixed up in that Navajo/Hopi business, which was apparently exacerbated by the fine U.S. government's division of land between the two tribes.

Well, we're leaving out of this discussion the Canadian tribes, who are known as "First Nations", but I don't know if that's what they actually prefer, either.  And again, "first" relates them to the white latecomers, so there's that.

Well, you could learn all the Native names for the tribe (but see my earlier comment in this thread). One note, though: I've heard there is evidence that the name "Indian" actually derives from "indigenous", not "India", but I have no idea if that's true.
