	Luis de Torres - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Luis de Torres (died 1493), perhaps born as Yosef Ben Ha Levy Haivri, ("Joseph the Son of Levy the Hebrew") was Christopher Columbus's interpreter on his first voyage and the first person of Jewish origin to settle in the New World.
		While still a Jew, de Torres served as an interpreter to the governor of Murcia due to his knowledge of Hebrew, Aramaic and some Arabic.
		De Torres is also believed to have discovered the turkey and named it after the Hebrew tukki (parrot) of the Bible.

		Luis Alfonso Torres, 45, was beaten to death by Baytown police officers Bert Dillow and Micah Aldred, both 4-year veterans, and Sgt. Rodney Evans, a 12-year veteran.

		After Luis Torres' death while in the custody of the Baytown Police Department, allegations of excessive force against the Baytown Police Department have surfaced, community protests, rallies and public forums have taken place in Houston and Baytown.

		Torres, therefore, after satisfying himself that the land whereat they had been lying was an island, and not a portion of a continent, sailed till he fell in with the southern coast of New Guinea.
		He sighted the hills of Cape York (which he took to be a cluster of islands), made an acquaintance with the savage islanders of the strait, and, emerging into the open sea, steered at length for the Philippines, where he wrote an account of the voyage.
		The authentic record of Torres' voyage had been found in the Spanish archives at Manilla in 1762; but, though Cook had not seen a translation of it at this time, he knew that the matter of the separation of New Guinea was by many regarded as uncertain.

		Luiz Vaez de Torres, Portuguese seaman, remembered chiefly because the Torres Strait separating Australia from Papua New Guinea is named for him.
		In 1605 he sailed from Callao in Spanish Peru as second-in-command to Pedro Fernandez de Quiros on their voyage of discovery to the south-west Pacific, with Torres in command of the "San Pedro." In May 1606 they reached the islands which Quiros named Austrialia de Espiritu Santo (now Vanuatu).
		For many years it was assumed that Torres took a route along the New Guinea coast, but in 1980 the Queensland historian and seaman Brett Hilder demonstrated that it was much more likely that Torres took a southerly route, from which he would certainly have seen Cape York, the northernmost extremity of Australia.

		Luis joined the expedition as Columbus' translator because he, like every well-educated Christian, Muslim, and Jew in Al-Andalus (Spain), was fluent in Arabic-- which was the principal language for the conduct of commerce and scholarly research in philosophy, religion, and the sciences.
		Luis de Torres was the first person to engage in a diplomatic mission between the Europeans and the native Americans of the new world-- when Columbus unexpectedly reached Hispaniola (modern day Cuba) instead of Arabic-speaking Mongols in India, he sent Luis de Torres to meet with the Taino tribal chief.
		Luis therefore has the distinction of being the first European diplomat to meet with a native American leader.
