Question 5 • 670101 Oklahoma History & Government – MYERS, JOSHUA A
Answer:
In 1759, Spanish forces led by Diego Ortiz Parrilla attacked the Wichita's fortified Twin Villages. The Wichita defenders resisted with the help of their fortifications and European weapons, and the Spanish suffered losses before withdrawing. The Spanish and Wichita each described the outcome as a success for their own side, but the battle demonstrated the strength of the Wichita villages.
