  • In 2018, John Allen Chau made a controversial attempt to contact the Sentinelese, an isolated indigenous tribe on North Sentinel Island. The Sentinelese have long maintained their seclusion and are known to react aggressively to outsiders.

    Visits to the island are strictly prohibited without government approval, which Chau did not obtain. Instead, he paid local fishermen to take him near the island.

    Chau's motivation was to spread Christianity to the Sentinelese. He wrote in his diary about his mission, expressing concerns about the island being "Satan's last stronghold" and stating that "the eternal lives of this tribe is at hand."

    Despite warnings from the fishermen, he made several attempts to approach the islanders, offering gifts and singing worship songs, but was met with hostility and laughter.

    On November 17, during his final visit, Chau instructed the fishermen to leave him on the island.

    The fishermen later reported seeing the Sentinelese dragging what appeared to be Chau's body and then burying it on the shore.

    Indian authorities tried to retrieve the body but eventually abandoned the efforts due to the hostility of the islanders.
