The Sentinelese

The Sentinelese are an indigenous people living on North Sentinel Island in the Andaman Sea, India. They are one of the world's last uncontacted tribes, maintaining a hunter-gatherer lifestyle with little to no interaction with outsiders. Their population is estimated to be between 50 and 150 individuals. The Indian government protects their territory to preserve their way of life and to prevent disease transmission. The Sentinelese are known for their hostility toward visitors, often responding with bows and arrows, which highlights their desire for isolation and autonomy.
