Quivira is a place named by explorer Francisco Vásquez de Coronado in 1541, for the mythical " Seven Cities of Gold" which he never found. The location of Quivira is believed by most authorities to be in central Kansas near present-day Lyons extending northeastern to Salina. The Quivirans were the forebears of the modern day Wichita Indians and Caddoan tribes, such as the Pawnee or Arikara.
