The Pawnee guide who lied about Quivira was named Tascalusa. He falsely claimed to lead Spanish explorer Francisco Vásquez de Coronado to the mythical city of Quivira in search of riches, leading to disappointment and conflict.

Quivira was a semi-mythical Native American city or region said to be rich in gold and located somewhere in the modern-day American Southwest. Spanish explorers searched for Quivira in the 16th century but never found it. The legend of Quivira contributed to the Spanish exploration of the American interior.
