Last week, an American missionary “adventurer” was reportedly killed by a legally protected tribe that lives on the remote North Sentinel Island in India’s Andaman Islands. On Saturday, law enforcement had a “nervous long-distance face-off” with the Sentinelese, who are known for being hostile to outsiders and who Indian law protects from any outside contact.
On Wednesday, authorities revealed that John Allen Chau, a 27-year-old American, was killed after he landed on North Sentinel Island after previous attempts to make contact with the tribe, which numbers between 50 to 150 and is protected by law from outside contact to shield them from diseases and protect their way of life.
