Arabic sailor who was captured by Indians?

by whitereaper101

So a while ago i read a post of reddit about an Arabic sailor who went to America long before Christopher Columbus or the other famous "discoverers of America" who was captured by Indians on the west coast and was only released after an Arabic speaking Indian told his tribe that they were not a threat. Do you have any more information or knowledge about this incident?

I have never heard of this story, and there is absolutely no solid evidence for pre-Columbian Arabic trans-Atlantic trade. There wouldn't have been any "Arabic speaking Indians" even if an Arab sailor was somehow captured by Native Americans.
