The indigenous inhabitants of North Sentinel Island, located in the Indian Ocean and roughly the size of Manhattan, have resided there for an estimated 55,000 years. Presently, the island is home to around 80 to 150 individuals. Regrettably, in November 2018, John Allen Chau, an American man, lost his life when members of the Sentinelese tribe killed him. Additionally, in 2006, two Indian fishermen were killed after their boat, which they had anchored near North Sentinel to rest after engaging in illegal fishing activities in the surrounding waters, broke loose and drifted ashore. It is known that poachers often fish unlawfully in the vicinity of the island, exploiting turtles and engaging in diving activities to procure lobsters and sea cucumbers. The Sentinelese tribe has consistently expressed their desire to avoid any form of contact, which is an understandable choice. Their neighboring tribes were eradicated as a consequence of British colonization, and they lack the immunity necessary to combat common diseases such as the flu or measles, which could prove devastating to their population.
