Comments:
The demonic Adversary wasn't actually one of the Anasazi.
Collectively, the Native American Gods seem to
be made up of a collection of interconnected familes known
together as the Anasazi. Separated, they are known as the Innua
(gods of the North West), Manitou (North East gods), Orenda
(South East gods) and the Kachina (South West Gods). A parallel
can be found in the Asgardian Aesir and Vanir, Celtic Danaans and
Fomore and the Greek Olympians and Titans.)
The Innua, or Inuit/Eskimo Gods,
have their own page. Whether they are to be considered within the
same pantheon in the Marvel Universe is uncertain.
Neither Calumet nor Tomazooma are derived from any actual gods of the Native Americans. They are Marvel Universe manufactured.
