By means of signs, just as they always communicated with other native groups who spoke many different languages.
Columbus reported communicating with natives by means of gesture signs; when Cabrillo landed at San Diego Bay in September 1542, he reported that:
"The following day, in the morning, there came to the ships three large Indians and by signs they said that there were travelling in the interior men like us - with beards, and clothes and arms like our own, and they made signs that these men carried cross-bows and swords, and made signs that they killed many of the natives who were greatly afraid."
Coronado, travelling in Texas in 1540, said of the Tonkawas and Comanches that:
". . . although they converse by means of signs, they make themselves so well understood that there is no need of an interpreter."
Dr E B Tyler, an authority on native American peoples, said that signs were a medium of converse from Hudson's Bay to the Gulf of Mexico.
