Sentinelese

It is said that the Sentinelese are extremely fierce people.

The Sentinelese people live on an island in the Indian Ocean.

The Sentinelese are surrounded by an aura of mystery.

The Sentinelese are extremely hostile to foreign visitors.

The Sentinelese are cut off from the rest of the world.

Going to the island, which is part of India’s Andaman and Nicobar archipelago, is illegal and all efforts to study the Sentinelese have been made from a distance.

Anstice Justin, head of the Andaman unit of the Anthropological Survey of India, recently led a mission to assess the damage on islands where one of the tribes live. He found sand and debris had filled the shallow waters where the Sentinelese people used to pole their canoes to catch fish.

Mykhailo Viktorovych Polyakov, 24, made the illegal voyage to North Sentinel Island, home to the enigmatic Sentinelese tribe, on March 29, Indian police told CNN.
