Quivira
(kee-VEE-rah), name given to land sought and reached
by Francisco Vasquez de Coronado in 1541 and explored by later
Span. expeditions (1593 and 1601). The records do not make it entirely
clear exactly where Quivira was located. It is generally identified
with villages of the Wichitas, probably around Great Bend, Kansas (KS);
however, other sites have been suggested, including one in N
Texas.
