Sentinel del Norte
North Sentinel Island
It is a mysterious (20 Minutos, 2018; Rolloid, 2018) island under the jurisdiction of the government of India (Revelo, 2015: Excelsior, 2015), it is inhabited by hostile natives who do not let anyone in, few people (Ria帽o, 2018) in the history of humanity have achieved a friendly encounter with this tribe, most of those who try to approach are received with a rain of arrows, stones and death threats. This island was already known at the time of Marco Polo, he described its inhabitants as cruel and violent people, he also warned that anyone who approached would end up being eaten by cannibals (Vasco, 2015). The entrance to the North Sentinel Island is prohibited by the government of India, this to protect the natives from diseases and possible visitors from certain death (Perfil, 2018). Among the times that the island has been visited without major problems, are the exploration through helicopters for the year 2004, this to know the status of its inhabitants after the tsunami, said helicopter was filled with arrows. Some people like John Allan Chau have not been so lucky, in a first attempt to visit the island, he had to flee by canoe, in his second attempt, he had to swim with an arrow stuck in his back and a third attempt did not survive to tell, dying in 2018 (Resolviendo la inc贸gnita, 2018). The little that is known about sentinelese, is that they speak an unknown language and could be descendants of humans who arrived 60,000 years ago in that area (Pereyra, 2013). A survivor who was inside the Island was Maurice Vidal Portman, although he did an anthropological study in the 19th century, he was guilty of the kidnapping of several people, in a lecture to a woman and four children, and in another occasion, to a couple of Elders and a child. They kept them several days on the sailing schooner Constance, the woman and one of the children were returned to the island with gifts, then the elderly couple died quickly and returned to the island with more gifts to the four surviving children. In the twentieth century the anthropologist Trilok Nath Pandit, managed to make a friendly contact with the sentinelese in 1991 (RT, 2018), although he says that when approaching the island, a young sentinel was threatening him with a knife, indicating that he would cut his head (Natarajan, 2018). Other tribes such as the Jarawas, unlike sentineleces, ceased to be hostile in 1994, but because of this, human safaris have been made and their population has declined, for the early twenty-first century, there are barely around 300 people left (Gal谩n, 2010).

- Acerca de esta misteriosa isla
- About this mysterious island
Es una misteriosa (20 Minutos, 2018; Rolloid, 2018) isla bajo la jurisdicci贸n del gobierno de la India (Revelo, 2015; Excelsior, 2015), est谩 habitada por nativos hostiles que no dejan entrar a nadie, pocas personas (Ria帽o, 2018) en la historia de la humanidad han logrado un encuentro amistoso con esta tribu, la mayor铆a de los que intentan acercase son recibidos con una lluvia de flechas, piedras y amenazas de muerte. Esta isla ya era conocida en la 茅poca de Marco Polo, el describi贸 a sus habitantes como gente cruel y violenta, tambi茅n advirti贸 que cualquiera que se acercara terminar铆a siendo comido por can铆bales (Vasco, 2015). La entrada la Sentinel del Norte est谩 prohibida por el gobierno de la India, esto para proteger a los nativos de enfermedades y a los posibles visitantes de una muerte segura (Perfil, 2018). Entre las veces que se ha visitado la isla sin problemas mayores, se encuentran la exploraci贸n a trav茅s de helic贸pteros para el a帽o 2004, esto para conocer el estado de sus habitantes despu茅s del tsunami, dicho helic贸ptero fue llenado de flechas. Algunas personas como John Allan Chau no han tenido tanta suerte, en un primer intento de visitar la isla, tuvo que huir en canoa, en su segundo intento, tuvo que huir a nado con una flecha clavada en la espalda y un tercer intento no sobrevivi贸 para contarlo, falleciendo en 2018 (Resolviendo la inc贸gnita, 2018). De lo poco que se sabe de los sentineleses, es que hablan una lengua desconocida y podr铆an ser decendientes de los humanos que llegaron hace 60.000 a帽os a esa zona (Pereyra, 2013). Un sobreviviente que estuvo dentro de la Isla fue Maurice Vidal Portman, aunque hizo un estudio antropol贸gico en el siglo XIX, fue culpable del secuestro de varias personas, en una ociaci贸n a una mujer y a cuatro ni帽os, y en otra ocaci贸n, a una pareja de ancianos y a un ni帽o. Los mantuvieron varios d铆as en la goleta de vela Constance, a la mujer y a uno de los ni帽os los devolvieron a la isla con regalos, luego la pareja de ancianos muri贸 r谩pidamente y devolvieron a la isla con m谩s regalos a los cuatro ni帽os sobrevivientes. En el siglo XX el antrop贸logo Trilok Nath Pandit, logr贸 hacer un contacto amistoso con los sentineleses en 1991 (RT, 2018), aunque cuenta que al acercarse a la isla, un joven sentinel茅s lo amenazaba con un cuchillo, indicando que le cortar铆a la cabeza (, 2018). Otras tribus como los Jarawas, a diferencias de los sentineleces, dejaron de ser hostiles en 1994, pero por culpa de esto, se han hecho safaris humanos y su poblaci贸n ha disminuido, para princopios del siglo XXI, apenas quedan al rededor de 300 personas (Gal谩n, 2010).

"The only known photograph of what is thought to be a Jangil communal
hut, as taken in the 1890s on Rutland Island, probably by M.V. Portman. The structure is remarkably similar to the Sentineli communal hut [...]. Portman never met more than a very few Jangil [...]. The figures barely discernible in the hut are Great Andamanese
trackers that accompanied Portman on most of his excursions and that he
used freely to pose as "Jarawas "and "Sentinelis "when the need arose
for "realistic" photographs." Citation from Shelter (of Jangil people), by George Weber
