Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Zuñi Indians, (search)
interesting body of Indians now on the American continent. They were named by their discoverer the people of Cibola, A Zuñi Indian. and they originally had seven pueblos, the seven cities of Cibola. As far back as 1540, when the advance of Coronado's army reached that region, these towns were in ruins and deserted. It was K'iakime, the most easterly of these seven cities, that Fray Marcos discovered in 1539. He was killed by its inhabitants, but the monk who accompanied him escaped, andequent travellers. Frank H. Cushing spent several years among them, was adopted by them, and gave to the world the most accurate account of their history and manners and customs that it ever possessed. The other cities were Hawikuh, subdued by Coronado in 1540; Taaiyalone, which soon afterwards submitted to him; Kwakina, the most westerly of the cities, which was abandoned between 1542 and 1580; Hampassawan and K'ianawe, from which the Zuñis were driven by the Apaches and Navajos between 1598
