Not only because the government has banned going to the island but also because the Sentinelese have become increasingly dangerous over the past few years. This is the first and must say last friendly visit the Sentinelese ever had with technology-based humans. In 1974 National Geographic gifted the Sentinelese a pig, doll, toy car, cooking utensils and coconuts. Attempts to recover their bodies were stopped as every time a helicopter or ship went close to the island it was welcomed with arrows and spears, their bodies were never recovered.Īnother story of fishermen illegally fishing for crabs near the shore of the island was also killed and never seen again. They drifted onto the shores of the island and were killed by the Sentinelese. Chau has never seen again no one knows if the body the Sentinelese were dragging was his or not.Ĭhau isn’t the only person who was killed by the Sentinelese 2 fishermen drunk and, in their boat, late at night drifted towards the island even after many fishermen warned them, as they were drunk, they didn’t seem to care. ![]() The fishermen were arrested for helping Chau as it was against the law. He was killed by the Sentinelese and was seen being dragged to bury on the shore by the fishermen the next day. The night Chau was taken to the island he told the fishermen not to wait for him. He expressed his frustration of not being welcomed the last few times he went. He left the dinghy midway and took a canoe all by himself to the island.In his journal, he wrote his plan of going to the island by tipping the fishermen 30000$ just to take him to the island at night.

THE remote tribe have had virtually no contact with the outside world but the little they have had has been bizarre. Survival International, an organisation that campaigns for the rights of tribal people, works to ensure that no further attempts are made to contact the tribe.
