Yes, but I don't know how they killed him.
Coronado found the Native American village of Hawikuh at Zuni. He and his expedition were searching for the fabled Seven Cities of Gold, but they did not find the riches they had hoped for. Instead, they encountered resistance from the Zuni people.
Zuni
Francisco Coronado, a Spanish explorer, led an expedition in the 1540s that sought the mythical Seven Cities of Gold. During his journey, he encountered the Zuni people in present-day New Mexico. Coronado's forces attacked the Zuni settlements, resulting in violence and conquest, as he sought to assert Spanish dominance and control over the region. This interaction contributed to the broader impacts of European colonization on Indigenous populations.
Coronado visited Compostela, Mexico City, Zuni, Tiguex, Pecos, and Kansas (Wichita Villages).
Francisco Vasquez de Coronado
The Zuni and Pueblo Indians.
Coronado travled through areas of Northern Mexico and present-day Arizona and New Mexico. The expedition reached a town belonging to the Zuni people in early summer 1540.
I'm doing research on American Indians and the explorers who found them in school and Coronado is one of the explorers I am studying. I am pretty sure ha went on two main voyages, he ended up finding the American Indian tribe called the Zuni. The location was present day Arizona and present day New Mexico... P.S You're welcome...
Francisco Vasquez Coronado's crew consisted of soldiers, explorers, guides, and indigenous allies such as Hopi and Zuni people who helped him in his expedition to search for the legendary Seven Cities of Gold in the American Southwest in the 16th century.
Most Zuni people speak English as their native language. About 9500 people speak Shiwi'ma, also called the Zuni Language.
Explorer Francisco Vazquez de Coronado led an expedition through the Grand Canyon and the southwestern United States. He encountered Zuni Indians in New Mexico as well as Pueblo Indian populations.
