====Conquest of Cíbola==== [[File:The Coronado expedition, 1540-1542.djvu|page=7|thumb|''The Coronado Expedition, 1540–1542'' <small>([[DjVu]] format)</small>]] Vázquez de Coronado traveled north on one side or the other of today's Arizona–New Mexico state line, and from the headwaters of the [[Little Colorado River]], he continued on until he came to the [[Zuni River]]. He followed the river until he entered the territory controlled by the [[Zuni (tribe)|Zuni]]. The members of the expedition were almost starving and demanded entrance into the community of [[Hawikuh Ruins|Hawikuh]] (of which the preferred Zuni word is Hawikku). The residents refused, denying the expedition entrance to the community. Vázquez de Coronado and his expeditionaries attacked the Zunis. The ensuing skirmish constituted the extent of what can be called the Spanish Conquest of Cíbola. He never personally led his men-at-arms in any subsequent battles.{{citation needed|date=July 2018}} During the battle, Vázquez de Coronado was injured. During the weeks that the expedition stayed at Zuni, he sent out several scouting expeditions. The first scouting expedition was led by [[Pedro de Tovar]]. This expedition headed northwest to the [[Hopi people|Hopi]] communities they recorded as Tusayan. Upon arrival, the Spanish were also denied entrance to the village that they came across and, once again, resorted to using force to enter. Materially, Hopi territory was just as poor as that of the Zuni in precious metals, but the Spaniards did learn that a large river (the [[Colorado River (U.S.)|Colorado]]) lay to the west.
