Sentinelese people

Hard to believe that in our time there are peoples who are completely isolated from the rest of the world ...

Off the coast of India, in the North Island Sentinelskom lives a tribe. Sentinelese people are known for their fierce resistance to make contact. The exact number is not known tribe allegedly 250 people, a maximum of 500. It is known that they are engaged in fishing, hunting, gathering, living in shacks. Do they animal or plant - is unknown.







This low awareness about the island, and living in it natives, due to the aggressive attitude to people from outside. At the sight of a stranger they will immediately take up bows and spears. They are not even afraid of noisy and seemingly terrible savages for helicopters and boats to them just as they rush ...



The tragic incident occurred in 2006. Two Indian fishermen little carried away and did not seem to notice that sailed too close to the island Sentinelese people. During that fishermen have paid with their lives.





Many expeditions were sent to the North Island, but no one did not manage to find a common language with the islanders. White people brought gifts, which were planted on the shore; but they were originally taken. Sentinelese people ate imported coconuts, but not put them; pigs are not eaten, and killed and buried them; red buckets were taken with joy, and green, on the contrary - were thrown out.
