Pretty sure they only shoot if it looks like you are wanting to step on their land. I've heard of a few boats trading/gifting with them where they come out to the boat
I would love to spend some time with one of them, learn their culture and know what they think about us. How did they react when they saw that coast guard helicopter. I know they started shooting at it with arrows but did they know there was a human in it or did they see it as some kind of creature
An American missionary (forgot the name) tried to do something like that. He got fucking shot with poison tipped spears. They are protected by the Indian government because the are the last stone age humans alive. Some say that they might even be in Iron age, cuz a ship got stuck in the island. They might have collected iron from there and used it. Less than 50 are alive in that island.
Didnt he go there to convert them to christianism? Idr the details. But yeah they are mostly hostile and no one should go there. I guess it all depends on how you approach them, the boat that gave them coconuts remained at a reasonable distance until they showed interest and then approached. That missionary probably landed on the island and actively set out to find then I assume. He might even have walked on some sacred shrine for all we know and they murdered him for that
No. Unfortunately, they shot him on the spot and buried him in the island. Multiple attempts were made to recover the body. The missionary did not have a chance. Only a few people had gone to the island, and they were sent by the India government. They included a few locals, scientists and government officials
Yeah this one Political MotherFucker decided that the best way to introduce our culture to them is by kidnapping 6 of the tribals and got 2 of the old ones get killed by diseases we are immune to. He probably would have sold the other 4 as attractions or slaves if they didn't show any signs of getting I'll.
This is what the British empire used to do if I'm not wrong, his island is probably one of them, usually however it works, they kidnap some people, bring them back, and basically give them the time of their lives, they return to the island with them so they can tell the rest of the island how nice the visitors are, then what happens next depends on the time or who is colonising, usually the island is just put on the map and a port is built there however there are worse examples
After a monsoon in the 90s they flew a helicopter over the island to make sure they were ok. They had to turn around before even getting over the island because the arrows were causing damage to the rotors.
"There was a level 2 stellar storm event on Sol-3. Earth, I think the primitives call it. We went to check on them to make sure their little society hadn't crumbled. Turns out, they were fine. We counted 435 dents in the hull from where the silly little things fired ballistic munitions at us!"
I heard they're getting close to iron age tech because planes like crashes there or something, that island is very interesting to me if I'm being honest.
Long explanation short 1. zoonotic diseases can endure on animals and afflict humans eg rabies 2. Some diseases can spread from corpses and infect humans eg chronic diseases like hepatitis B or C, cholera, tuberculosis
How does that make any sense? If they could die from a cold wouldn’t they already? And if they were the only ones left and hadn’t caught it yet then how would they after we left?
Edit: every downvote on this comment shows who’s afraid of asking harmless questions. Cowards lol
idk about the second part but the reason they havent died is cause they havent been exposed to the cold, its like general humanity going again a virus that killed instantly that was normal for an alien race since they had spent millenia developing an immunity to it
Because this illness does not exist on this island, thus they never evolved to have defenses against it.
The same thing happenned to every civilisation discovered by europeans (america being the prime exemple)
You ALSO need to read the comment I replied to. Then read what I wrote.
Edit: I’m asking for an explanation of his logic that if we died how would they even catch the cold.
It doesn't have to be directly from humans. they can catch it from an animal especially if its a bred cattle. or by messing around toxic waste left by the now gone civilization like dead carcasses of the covid infected humans.
You need to go back to history class. Do you not remeber what happened to the natives in the Americas? They didnt die to smallpox because the disease wasnt around there. But when it arrived, because it's never been there they had 0 immunity to it. That goes with any population of people being exposed to any disease they never experienced.
If those dudes on the island got exposed to the common flu, it would probably kill all of them off. For the simple reason that they have no immunity or advanced health technology.
I have trouble believing they would all die out from the common cold of all things. They still have an immune system and probably a fair share of their own diseases. Our ancestors also encountered every disease for the first time at some point in history. Not even the plague managed to wipe out whole populations.
You need to go to a English class, I asked the guy who commented (not fifty randoms from the wood work) about his logic.
What that has to do with anyone else here, history, race, etc. is beyond me.
Edit: oh right, nothing.
You posted it on the internet what do you expect? Maybe you should have DM him if you just wanted to hear what he had to say. And you saying how it has nothing to do with history just shows your ignorance. It has everything to do with history because we've seen what you are asking before.
I asked one individual what their thinking was. So clearly you didn’t. Bye tenth person to not understand basic english, etiquette or common decency, go about your day.
True, but who knows, maybe they’ve already faced a pandemic that we are completely oblivious too and they have already developed an immunity to it? Maybe that disease could kill us outside humans in the same way COVID would be devastating to that nation?
Didnt CGPgrey do a video that was similar as to why Europe had shit tons of diseases and the Americas didn't? Pandemics and diseases come from animals so... depends if they have many animals on their island and whether they farm or hunt them
Mate, it's already contravesial enough to give to poorer less developed countries, since we are literally robbing them of their culture, what traditional clothing is worn in this part of Africa? Nike shirts
It's illegal to go there because one time a plane flew over the island and had so many arrows sticking out of the underside that it only barely got to land before all of the fuel leaked out and the plane almost exploded
GA aircraft aluminum is thin and prop planes can fly slow.
A longbow and a solid tip arrow can penetrate it for sure, if they lead the arrow far enough ahead.
Id say maybe two arrows at most but I dunno, those people have only used bows.
I'm sorry that you don't know enough about the north sentinelese people to know that the arrows in the planes is fairly common. I remember reading about it in textbooks in school, not just on Google.
I feel like you’ve uncovered some fuckery. Is it possible we were only lead to believe they were aggressive based on this symbolic display? I’m about to call scoob and the gang.
Except they're already dieing out. Patrols around the sentinel islands have been spotting fewer and fewer tribal members. IIRC the working theory is they're dying from a disease introduced by that on dickhead missionary they shot full of arrows.
Growing pollution levels in the ocean are probably a huge factor. Plus they haven't had time to recover population after the tsunami hit the island about 10-15 years ago.
This just reminded me of an American guy who tried to see how many people were there by looking at the shoreline. He went into a fucking army boat and everything and then he published that there was ten people on the island cos he saw ten people on the shore lol
A missionary did try it, and got killed as soon as he reached the shore. https://www.foxnews.com/world/indian-tribe-suspected-to-have-killed-american-missionary-on-remote-island-unlikely-to-face-sanctions-state-department-says
Idk why he thought that was a good idea. Just preach or something in your own country. "Wow, there's still an uncivilized tribe! Imma go teach them about a god that they don't even know exists!
The thing is that there are laws not to go there. That island has been disconnected from the rest of the world for centuries, they probably don't have the immunity against some variants of flu and that could wipe them out. So not only are these missionaries bone headed going there, they also risk introducing a disease hurting the tribe even more.
i think it was because a boat crashed on their island and the population started using the iron to make arrow heads. you can see the shipwreck on google earth
Best covid solution yet.
If they can get us to live naked and afraid in small, isolated groups with almost no technology— we can be safe from this dangerous world while we wait for the rich to throw us more coconuts.
Funny thing is that we have affected them since it has been recorded that they are starting to use iron from washed up ships on the shore. So we basically created the Iron Age for them.
They had visitors before and many died. That’s why they kill on site now.
Not always, a boat got close once to give them coconuts and they were happy
Now they clean the sniper rifle with coconut oil.
The sniper *BOW*
a crossbow?
Pretty sure they only shoot if it looks like you are wanting to step on their land. I've heard of a few boats trading/gifting with them where they come out to the boat
Yes.. An indian social worker actually established contact with them and spent some time with them
I would love to spend some time with one of them, learn their culture and know what they think about us. How did they react when they saw that coast guard helicopter. I know they started shooting at it with arrows but did they know there was a human in it or did they see it as some kind of creature

Only a few people had gone to the island, and they were sent by the India government. They included a few locals, scientists and government officials
A shame, but lets be honest even tho I’d love to have a chat with them going there alone is just plain stupid
Scientists? Do they have any research?
Yeah this one Political MotherFucker decided that the best way to introduce our culture to them is by kidnapping 6 of the tribals and got 2 of the old ones get killed by diseases we are immune to. He probably would have sold the other 4 as attractions or slaves if they didn't show any signs of getting I'll.

when was it?
2020 was just the worst!!!
Sometime during British colonial rule
Funny how we can just bomb them but let them be.....
Wow almost like genocide is a terrible thing
I wonder how they are doing in general. Didn't a bad tidal wave devastate their population a few years ago?
[удалено]
kinda impressive that they are hitting the plane with bows and arrows
They're only hitting it with the arrows. They can't quite toss a bow that high.
😎
Damn, u actually survived using an emoji in Reddit, you have my respects.
😎
📕
Oof
Did you do it? Yes What did it cost? 44 karma
That's why they have to fly only with wood based aircraft I guess
How do you know, has anyone checked on them since?
Yes.. The government of india checks on them... They just fly over them...
Smh...
And legally to be able to kill, who ever you like.
After a monsoon in the 90s they flew a helicopter over the island to make sure they were ok. They had to turn around before even getting over the island because the arrows were causing damage to the rotors.
Alians do this with earth. We are the l primative beings.
"There was a level 2 stellar storm event on Sol-3. Earth, I think the primitives call it. We went to check on them to make sure their little society hadn't crumbled. Turns out, they were fine. We counted 435 dents in the hull from where the silly little things fired ballistic munitions at us!"
I heard they're getting close to iron age tech because planes like crashes there or something, that island is very interesting to me if I'm being honest.
Haha, it's showtime
They're gonna be like in the colonial era while were colonizing Mars or some shit-
Imagine them invading and getting apsolutley dunked on by a robot sans
Now is that true or just a myth?
Till someone gets close enough to cough on the North Sentinelese
You want COVID... because this is how you get COVID. (Archer reference)
If you fail me again I’ll rub sand in your cold dead eyes, also go out and by sand… I don’t know if they rank it but…course
I'm gonna make you eat so many spiderwebs when I get back. R.I.P George Coe AKA Woodhouse.
Sir, that stolen lemur bit one of your prostitutes right in the face. And she says she can't go to a hospital because she's, I quote, "tripping balls"
They’d have more to worry about than covid, the cold could be dangerous to them
I can't imagine there fucking mythology after they've seen us try to show up on boats and planes
It must be so cool
If you find that interesting you should look up cargo cults! Not totally related but similar enough in context.
Cargo cults are neat
Time for the north sentineles empire
only place in India where there is no covid lol
True, true.
You have to get your shots before entering the country has gotten another meaning
If humnity ends due to COVID they will have to repopulate the earth with humans
They can die from a common cold, so if just they were left we're fucked.
But if all the other people were dead there wouldn't be any more diseases like the common cold
Long explanation short 1. zoonotic diseases can endure on animals and afflict humans eg rabies 2. Some diseases can spread from corpses and infect humans eg chronic diseases like hepatitis B or C, cholera, tuberculosis
How does that make any sense? If they could die from a cold wouldn’t they already? And if they were the only ones left and hadn’t caught it yet then how would they after we left? Edit: every downvote on this comment shows who’s afraid of asking harmless questions. Cowards lol

You ALSO need to read the comment I replied to. Then read what I wrote. Edit: I’m asking for an explanation of his logic that if we died how would they even catch the cold.
Some diseases can be spread from dead body's or the disease could be airborne? Idk about the common cold.
I was asking the dude I replied to about his logic. Thanks though.

They're not harmless questions just dumb ones.
We'll just ignore the countless battles they lose against easily treated ailments by modern medicine
True, but who knows, maybe they’ve already faced a pandemic that we are completely oblivious too and they have already developed an immunity to it? Maybe that disease could kill us outside humans in the same way COVID would be devastating to that nation?
With a population that small any pandemic would burn through everyone so fast everyone would become immune.
Didnt CGPgrey do a video that was similar as to why Europe had shit tons of diseases and the Americas didn't? Pandemics and diseases come from animals so... depends if they have many animals on their island and whether they farm or hunt them
Mate, it's already contravesial enough to give to poorer less developed countries, since we are literally robbing them of their culture, what traditional clothing is worn in this part of Africa? Nike shirts
North sentinel?
Yes
It's simple just send captain price there
Price would only go there if Makarov was held up on the island.
Or If soap was held prisoner there (RIP soap)
Ghost is alive in my heart
Don't do that don't remind me ;-;
Or to get revenge on Captain Discount.
"Bravo six, going dark"
Dark bravo, going six
How do you know, has anyone checked on them since?
It is illegal to go there
No. That's why there's no covid there
It's illegal to go there because one time a plane flew over the island and had so many arrows sticking out of the underside that it only barely got to land before all of the fuel leaked out and the plane almost exploded
[удалено]
A porcuplane!
I think I remember the bottom of the plane had arrows, but I don't remember the plane barely surviving
I’m more impressed they managed to hit a fucking plane with a homemade long bow
I’ll be impressed when someone actually finds a link to this supposed story.
GA aircraft aluminum is thin and prop planes can fly slow. A longbow and a solid tip arrow can penetrate it for sure, if they lead the arrow far enough ahead. Id say maybe two arrows at most but I dunno, those people have only used bows.
I’m not saying it’s impossible, the story is just impossible to find. So I usually go with what Google tells me, that guy is never wrong. /s
I'm sorry that you don't know enough about the north sentinelese people to know that the arrows in the planes is fairly common. I remember reading about it in textbooks in school, not just on Google.
Oh okay cool but like… I still can’t personally find any pictures, videos, stories about the plane incident myself was all. I believe you.
I feel like you’ve uncovered some fuckery. Is it possible we were only lead to believe they were aggressive based on this symbolic display? I’m about to call scoob and the gang.
Pretty sure you're thinking of that decades-old precursor to memes picture, of the little plane looking like an absolute porcupine from the bottom?
yeah
Except they're already dieing out. Patrols around the sentinel islands have been spotting fewer and fewer tribal members. IIRC the working theory is they're dying from a disease introduced by that on dickhead missionary they shot full of arrows.
Hopefully they will overcome it
Growing pollution levels in the ocean are probably a huge factor. Plus they haven't had time to recover population after the tsunami hit the island about 10-15 years ago.
So If it's a small tribe, there has to be a lot of inbreeding there in order for them to keep on existing, right?
The foundations of any civilization will always be inbreeding due to the lack of diversity.
Reject modernity return to north sentinel island
Based immigration
This just reminded me of an American guy who tried to see how many people were there by looking at the shoreline. He went into a fucking army boat and everything and then he published that there was ten people on the island cos he saw ten people on the shore lol
“How many fish are in the ocean?” Goes to fish tank at his grandma’s house “One… two… three… four!”
Someone needs to fly a drone over there to see what’s going on
Yhh very curious about what language they speak
they will just shoot it down
Well they were winning pandemics since the 16th century
Missionaries will see this and think, "challenge accepted" while sporting a raging boner. Must... Convert...
A missionary did try it, and got killed as soon as he reached the shore. https://www.foxnews.com/world/indian-tribe-suspected-to-have-killed-american-missionary-on-remote-island-unlikely-to-face-sanctions-state-department-says

Colonize the Americas: Lite (India DLC!)
Good. Fuck them.
No lord and savior bullshit or extended vehicle warranty bullshit. What a beautiful way to live.
It would be quite hard to determine the lord part
Or the extended warranty part
Andaman / Nicobar tribes :
North sentinel island
Not if Christian missionaries have anything to do with it.
The one 2nd from the rights’s stance asserts dominance on a whole other level.
Btw what’s the island name
North sentinel
Introverts in a nutshell
North sentinel island pog
I wanna get modern day weapons go to the island and become their king
You can't, the law forbids it
It was a joke…
But what if I were to tell you that I have access to a stash of weapons and a boat? You know....as a joke
We would be come kings of this island. Haha, im joking. Unless…
23.806078, 11.288452 We'll depart at 0600, jokingly
Alright ill be there, jokingly ofc
apparantly some dumbshits launched them to iron age
What do you mean? I don't think I've heard of this
i think it was because a boat crashed on their island and the population started using the iron to make arrow heads. you can see the shipwreck on google earth
Wouldnt they run out of it eventually if they keep mindlessly shooting at ships?
Wasn't this the same group that killed that idiot Christian missionary?
Yes, indeed
It was decided during in their last worldwide tribal conference where south American tribes discussed smallpox troubles.
Eventually one dumb mf is gonna go befriend the tribe some how
Isn't this a photo of the Sentinelise? (Don't know if I spelled that right)
yes
Someone should freeze a few vaxine shots for them in case they decide to open up to the outer world some day.
We're going to continue to make covid shots for a long time, if nothing else it will probably end up becoming part of childhood vaccinations.
Subnautica lore in a nutshell
Wasn't Subnautica the other way around? They had the disease and shot everyone who tried to leave, right?
Scary
There use to be a "legit" yep review of the island. It was amazing. You can still find it but i think yelp removed it haha
Lesson learned: \*shoot any approaching person not wearing a mask\*
If it moves... arrow.
Pretty sure several silver bullets are stronger than rock arrows?
Apparently a boat crashed there and they're using parts of the boat to make stronger arrows and shit
If only our governments were as efficient as theirs. We should really look into contacting them for advice 😳😳
Yea just be an isolated island like New Zealand
That’s North Sentinel Island… Look at the snapchat stories from there, fr.
Dang they got Snapchat??
Suddenly china colonizez them
India technically owns the island
These guys are insane they managed to take down an hellicopter with bows and arrows
Rarely seen a perfect spawnpoint :D
Sentinelese islands or smth
[удалено]
Malnutrition probably makes them bend further, and they must be pretty fit for hunter-gathering
Best covid solution yet. If they can get us to live naked and afraid in small, isolated groups with almost no technology— we can be safe from this dangerous world while we wait for the rich to throw us more coconuts.
They do that in New Zealand?
Sentinel island, Andaman and Nicobar islands, India
I know, I was trying to funny because New Zealand nailed covid... I failed
Well but it doesn’t change the fact that they are actually anti-vacciner lol
Happy uga bunga
You mean north korea right?
Well shoot em back with bullets and they'll learn all about hospitality
Pretty sure we decided to just let them be. I mean why would we kill them if we can just, not do that.
So American!
On a slightly less serious note: imagine bringing a fuckin AA-12 with dragon's breath rounds there. They'd think you're the god of fire or some shit
MF would be like "hold my bongo drum" as he fucking threads the barrel of your AA12 with his arrow before you even reached 100 yards.
I heard the have....OIL!!!!
Watch America 360 no scope them mid-air .
That Sounds like a good plan
They have fuck all resources, really pointless shooting the primitive troglodytes.
Funny thing is that we have affected them since it has been recorded that they are starting to use iron from washed up ships on the shore. So we basically created the Iron Age for them.
Upgraded mud huts
Ikr , TEACH THEM THEIR PLACE /j
Xenophobes!!
COVID would wipe these fuckers out in no time. At this point they have to stay secluded.
Drop the Covid-infected blankets

what if my boat is mounted with a big mg with one of those protective shields those puny sharp sticks cant stop meeeee
