Police say man landed on island in attempt to meet the Sentinelese people – a tribe untouched by the industrial world

Mykhailo Viktorovych Polyakov, 24, set foot on the restricted territory of North Sentinel – part of India’s Andaman Islands – in an attempt to meet the Sentinelese people, who are believed to number only about 150.

“The American citizen was presented before the local court after his arrest and is now on a three-day remand for further interrogation,” the Andaman and Nicobar Islands police chief, HGS Dhaliwal, told AFP.

    I’m learning new stuff every day.

    I was wrong and I found out today that they don’t eat people, but they do kill people. Still though, best not to go to places like that.

    I apologize for being incredibly offensive, and won’t do any dirty deletes.
