North Sentinel Island Contact Attempts: from Bows and Arrows to Modern Drones
By David Miller
North Sentinel Island is not an open-air museum, a tourist destination, or an untamed wilderness waiting for aerial documentation. It is the sovereign, ancestral home of a self-sufficient hunter-gatherer society that has clearly chosen to remain left alone.
The shift from wooden landing parties to remote-controlled drones does not make intrusion any more acceptable. Dropping a motorized plastic camera into the heart of an isolated jungle to generate internet views carries the same hazards as the colonial incursions of the past. Protecting the Sentinelese requires respecting their borders in the air just as on the sea, leaving one of the last undisturbed corners of humanity completely alone.
