American man arrested for illegally entering Andaman's North Sentinel Island, one of the world's most restricted areas
An American adventurer, Mykhailo Viktorovych Polyakov, was arrested for illegally entering North Sentinel Island, home to an uncontacted tribe. Polyakov, who sought thrill and adventure, recorded his landing on the island using a GoPro camera, violating both local and national laws.
Aren't these guys uncontacted because they've attacked literally everything that we've seen them with?
So essentially any contact would probably go poorly for the first contactors, and go worse for them?
Yes.
Although to my memory it is because the first contact lead to 50% of their population being killed so now they live in violent isolation.
I could also be confusing them with other islands in the area.
Especially since now there’s covid (in addition to everything else) and I don’t trust that guy to have taken sufficient precautions against transmitting diseases
There's one guy that gave them food for twenty years without violating their space. He was able to get pictures with them when they came up to the boat one day. They didn't shoot him or showed agression.
It's possible they were desperate for food that day.
A GoPro camera recovered from Polyakov’s possession contained footage showing him landing on the island, an act that directly violated both local and national laws.
Hey Kids! It's time to sing our song about Not Filming Yourself Committing Crimes!
Send him to a prison in North Korea as a mistake and claim there's no way to get him back
An American adventurer, Mykhailo Viktorovych Polyakov, a big supporter of the American president Krasnov...
Being the son of immigrants doesn’t make him less American
Unless you're a POC of course
There are people with Slavic names in the USA
Yes, even a president has one :)
Also known as the Backup Humans, if we fuck it up too much…
Idiot. At least he just left some stuff and set off again without any contact to the islanders
The stuff he left could be infested with bacteria and disease foreign to the Sentinalese, so still a bad call.
But at least it wasn't Evangelism this time.
Fun fact; North Sentinel Island is protected by India, and if anybody goes there and gets killed, the Sentinelese will not be prosecuted.
They should have monitored a little, now this post would have been a Dumb Ways to Die post.
American used measels. It was super effective.
