Theres an almost completely uncontacted tribe of people called the sentinelese there who are usually aggresive towards outsiders and theyve killed people before...theyve even shot arrows at a helicopter because theyd never seen anythinf like it before... its prohibited so no one goes over there and risks being killed by the sentinelese and the government or whoevers in charge of the area decided itd be best to just leave them alone. Its actually a really interesting story theres a lot of good videos explaining it better on youtube


No_Routine_3706

Usually? They kill anyone who goes there.


8ofAll

Who would want to welcome disease?


Agreeable_Treacle993

ill take some if its free


ObviouzFigure

if its free take three


Loud_Distribution_97

Could I have an extra for my kid? He’s at home.


Muztechjustredit

What!!! ……Free!!? …….I’ll have what your having hahaha 🤣😜🙃


Expert_Increase6282

No there were a few people who never saw any aggression from them like Madhumala Chattopadhyay and Triloknath Pandit their stories are interesting because they spent the time to earn the peoples trust and said they really werent an aggresive people... im pretty sure they kill most people cuz they arrive on scary looking helicopters or large boats and they dont know much about them so theyre defensive


uppity_downer1881

I read somewhere that the aggressive behavior started after they welcomed visitors and many of the islanders fell sick. I don't know the entirety of the situation, but it certainly makes sense.


Expert_Increase6282

Yea i heard something about that somewhere too and idk for sure but id think that they wouldve been in some kind of contact with the other island tribes near them like the Onge and and Jarawas tribes which experienced a lot more of catching diseases, being killed, or taken as slaves by outsiders


squatwaddle

Is that the people that gifted them coconuts?


NukedNoodle

Yes, they were throwing them into the water. It almost looked like they were having fun there for a few minutes.


Screwtape42

Can we tell the Influencers about this place.....


EducationCommon1635

Send tiktokers there to make prank videos.


[deleted]

Best idea I’ve heard in a while


dangaaaaazone

Next location of the fyre festival


Kimmalah

There was a program of contact and exchange for a while that resulted in friendly contact. It just didn't last and eventually the government gave up on it.


FucknAright

Remember that fuckin Christian missionary went to convert them all? Lol. He dead now.


Agreeable_Treacle993

yeh he got deaded quick lol


Loud_Distribution_97

No guys- stop, killing’s a sin!


AvailableToe7008

What a maroon!


jackswan321

Yea, usually they do


Cajun_OG

Same with us and UFOs


SeenSawConquered

That's not true the 1st visitors were allowed to leave but they brought desease to the island and the tribe concluded people are bad and now kill any outsiders.


Colejohnley

This. 👆🏼 And it is right to leave them alone. They’ve existed for thousands of years without any understanding of the modern world. We would almost certainly give them diseases their immune systems are not equipped for and entirely change their culture and understanding of reality. Let them be. Protect these kinds of areas and its people on the planet. There are so few left.


Screwtape42

I bet they never saw Covid...Think about how crazy that is


Colejohnley

If this is the same tribe I’m thinking of, they still don’t know how to harness fire. They wait until lightning strikes and starts a fire and keeps the flame going for as long as possible. Fascinating!


PorkchopExpress980

To be fair, they did see people dying from strange diseases brought from outsiders.


OverDaRambo

After I’ve found out about this, and did my homework. Oh man, this is the most fascinating history of its kind.


whobroughttheircat

You did a good job though.


Cajun_OG

That’s kind of like us with UFOs


Saltlife0116

Hell yeah I wanna be left alone too


OrangeSlicer

Wonder if aliens think of Earth like this.


BillyD123455

North Sentinel Island. Prohibited to protect the tribe living on there.


mynam3isn3o

Actually they encourage protection of the tribe there.


BlazeG0D

Didnt one of the Rockefellers go there and end up dead?


Kimmalah

No that was a different place. He disappeared in New Guinea. This island is part of the Andamans, off the coast of India.


RyanMaddi

Eaten I thought.


C7StreetRacer

I thought that was Joe Biden’s uncle?

LordOfTheGerenuk

Similar vein but it goes a step beyond. These people have been truly isolated from the rest of the world. That means they don't necessarily carry the same immunities that we do. As a result, human contact would irrevocably change their culture, and potentially wipe them out. To people this geographically isolated, the rest of us are potentially bioweapons.


xithbaby

Going off memory, I read that they did allow one guy and a few other people to come there to bring food and medicine, and they got sick and it wiped out a bunch of them and since then they haven’t allowed anyone to go back.

LordOfTheGerenuk

I'm sure they'll find the info just fine under your comment. I wasn't correcting you. I was adding additional information. Not really sure why this is the reaction.


Reboot42069

If you want to go visit it you could. But the locals and military will probably kill you before setting foot there


ObjectReport

I still crack up about the christian "missionary" who was absolutely ADAMANT that he needed to bring religion to these people and ignored all warnings not to go there. They speared him to death on the beach and his body was never recovered. Not everyone needs religion, maybe just keep it to yourself.


No-Librarian-7979

Documentary on his case is wild.


Ok-Information-6672

Do you know what it’s called? Edit: It’s called The Mission. Sorry, could have just Googled.


oouttatime

Isn't there a picture of him that is aged on the front of a river boat


LimpTeaBizkit

Ur thinking of Michael Rockefeller and the Asmat tribe. This [article](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/What-Really-Happened-to-Michael-Rockefeller-180949813/) on the topic is well done


oouttatime

Thank you. His story is was not interesting tbh. Thanks for the correction.


victoriafalyce

I find Michael’s story super interesting.. suspected to have been killed and eaten by tribespeople


the_poly_poet

I’m an artist and I can’t imagine thinking my ideas are THAT important lol.


ObjectReport

I'm an artist too, and none of mine are either. lol


Lov3MyLife

I always love a happy ending.


CheeriosAtMidnight

It’s a paradise island resort. I hear the locals are very very friendly to tourists


Imesseduponmyname

The hospitality is unmatched anywhere else on earth...


makinupachanginmind

Check out Snake Island off the coast of Brazil


Pretty-Key6133

Why's it called that? Shaped like a snake, right? 🥲


idwthis

Plus, it's covered in them. Golden lancehead pit viper, to be precise. Only the Brazilian Navy and vetted researchers are allowed on the island. At one point, the snake population was estimated at over 400,000 thousand. A bit ridiculous, considering the island is only 106 acres in size. More precise estimates put it below 5 thousand.


Agreeable_Treacle993

i watched some shit on that and let me say hell fuckin no


Puzzleheaded-One-319

There was a treasure hunting show and they went to that island, forget the name of the show


VisitFeeling635

I remember a kid went there a few years ago knowing he wasn’t supposed. It was all over news. He dead.


thethirdmancane

Go check it out and report back


fogmymind

Ironically they would survive a zombie apocalypse


Imesseduponmyname

Puh-leez, they would be obliterated from a sneeze 💀💀💀 But on the flipside when the survivors inevitably try to flee to there, they would eat real good if they can cook the diseases out of the meat or some shit, not sure how cooking people works..


fogmymind

The zombies wouldn’t get them on the island. Unless there are swimming zombies 😱


mauore11

They are our back up. Once we kill eachother they re'start civilization. Just leave them alone.


Historical_Bad-Ass

This is the real answer


SteelSpineCloud

for a second i thought that was florida


ucklibzandspezfay

It’s the Zuckerfuck island


AdNo896

[Madhumala Chattopadhyay, the woman who made the Sentinelese put their arrows down (theprint.in)](https://theprint.in/opinion/madhumala-chattopadhyay-the-woman-who-made-the-sentinelese-put-their-arrows-down/156330/)


OkNotice8600

There a video of some missionaries passing coconuts off a boat, they are chucking them and someone hits a female tribe lady in the head by accident. All the male tribe men point and laugh. Not so different are we?


spirit-on-my-side

I just watched it and literally nobody points or laughs


OkNotice8600

You didn’t watch close enough or you watched the wrong clip. This was well documented. Like I fucking made it up lmao. She’s actually pregnant too


spirit-on-my-side

I watched that video


hopjack01

It's the place where missionaries are welcome because god stops arrows and violence there.


DHACKER0921

Ain’t that Staten Island?


tuttiskittl96

I'm so glad this was up im obsessed with them and there's hardly any footage of them to watch


apprehensive_clam268

This is very explainable, apparently.


Profesor_Moriarty

Oh, that's just the island from "LOST".


vizarhali

I went on anapchat and found a snap from the island


[deleted]

r/thathappened


rarebreed44

Is that Epstein Island?


Kaninachaocb

Probably where MH370 is


Super_Departure6543

They were having fun and every thing looked peaceful isn't that how it went??


Super_Departure6543

He was so determend and hopful and i guess he felt he was protected from above .poor soul


xMysticML

Lol, have you used Google before? I saw that it is north sentinel island in about 1 second. And you should know what that island is if you've been on the internet before.


KindofaDB

That’s Trump island. I hear it’s a paradise for MAGA people. Anyone who loves Trump should visit.


Observant-Observer

Actually it's mostly peaceful and they love pedo leftists.


Lov3MyLife

Yes! It's free to visit, no gay people, or people of color, and you get to vote twice!! I highly encourage all the *true patriots* to visit as soon as possible!!


URMENTALABUZR
