The Hopi word for ancestor is Hisatsinom (or Hisatsinam), which translates to "the ancient ones" or "people of long ago". It is used to refer to the ancestral Puebloan people who inhabited the Four Corners region, distinguishing them from the Navajo-derived term "Anasazi".
Beautiful...I've been watching so many videos about the ruins the Ancient ones left behind, and it's so amazing....
It's so sad and so evil that so many places have been carelessly looted.
