Quivira is a place first mentioned by Francisco Vásquez de Coronadoin 1541, who visited it during his searches for the mythical "Seven Cities of Gold". The location and identity of Quivira is believed by most authorities to be in central Kansas. The Quivirans are believed to have been Wichita or another Caddoan tribe (Pawnee, Arikara, etc.).
El Turco claimed that Quivira was a city made of gold with abundant riches, sparking Coronado's interest and motivating him to leave Tiguex in search of this mythical city.
The Spanish explorers did not find the fabled city of Quivira as described by Native American accounts. Instead, they encountered various Native American communities and lands in the region that is now part of the southwestern United States. The search for Quivira was fueled by legends of gold and riches.
Spanish explorers searched for Cibola and Quivira in the hopes of finding legendary cities rumored to be filled with riches and treasures, such as gold. These expeditions were driven by the desire for wealth, power, and glory, as well as the belief that they could spread Christianity and expand the Spanish empire.
Friar Juan de Padilla and the two others decided to return to Quivira because they wanted to continue their missionary work among the Native American tribes in the region. They believed they could make a positive impact by sharing their religious beliefs and helping to convert the indigenous people to Christianity.
Coronado did not find the wealth and cities that were rumored to exist at Cibola and Quivira. Instead, he found modest indigenous settlements in the American Southwest that did not match the exaggerated descriptions he had received. This led to disappointment and a failed quest for riches.
