American tourist arrested for trying to contact isolated tribe
ai generated text
The Sentinelese people, one of the world's most isolated tribes, reside on North Sentinel Island, a restricted territory off the coast of India. The Indian government has imposed a ban on travel within three nautical miles of the island since 1956.
He landed briefly for about five minutes, left the offerings on the shore, collected sand samples, and recorded a video before returning to his boat.
The American citizen was presented before the local court after his arrest and is now on a three-day remand for further interrogation.
They have clearly not wanted any outside interaction for a long time but they have evolved a very sophisticated way of life … and clearly thrived on this island in a self-sufficient way for a very long time.
It beggars belief that someone could be that reckless and idiotic. This person's actions not only endangered his own life, they put the lives of the entire Sentinelese tribe at risk.
