Harahey

Harahey was a country on the northern edge of Quivira, known from the account of Francisco Vázquez de Coronado’s expedition. Its communities lay on the central Plains, beyond the grass-covered villages and cultivated fields that the Spaniards encountered in Kansas. In 1541 a delegation associated with a leader called Tatarrax came to meet Coronado while he was among the Quivirans. Harahey belonged to a world of neighboring peoples whose farming villages and bison hunts linked the river valleys to the open prairie.
