Coronado is escorted to the further edge …

Years: 1541 - 1541
Coronado is escorted to the further edge of Quivira, called Tabas, where the neighboring land of Harahey begins.

He summons the "Lord of Harahey" who, with two hundred followers, comes to meet with the Spanish.

He is disappointed in his hopes for riches.

The Harahey natives are "all naked – with bows, and some sort of things on their heads, and their privy parts slightly covered".

Geroge Hyde identifies them as Awahis, the old Caddoan name for the Pawnees, possibly including the ancestors of the Skidis and the Arikara. (Hyde, George E. (1974) [1951]. The Pawnee Indians. The Civilization of the American Indian (New ed.). Norman, OK: University of Oklahoma Press.

Another group, the Guas, may have been known later as the Paniouace.

These people put up ferocious resistance when Coronado starts to plunder their villages.
