Sentinelese

The Sentinelese (also Sentineli, Senteneli, Sentenelese, North Sentinel Islanders) are one of the indigenous peoples of the Andaman Islands, located in the Bay of Bengal. They exclusively inhabit North Sentinel Island which lies westwards off the southern tip of the Great Andaman archipelago. They are noted for vigourously maintaining their independence and sovereignty over the island, and resisting attempts of contact by outsiders. By their long-standing separation from any other human society they are among the most isolated and unassimilated peoples on Earth, and whose social practices are almost totally devoid from any external influences.
