Iza. A settlement of which Coronado was informed by the Indian known as The Turk, while on the Rio Grande in New Mexico in 1540-41, as a place, 6 or 7 days journey distant, at which the army could obtain provisions on its way to “Copala” and Quivira. It was possibly imaginary; if not, it may have been a settlement of the Eyish, a Caddoan tribe of Texas. (F. W. H.)
