Ari ShaffirHOST
It's uncontactable for a reason.
NolanGUEST
Like the Sentinelese, many Christian missionaries have tried in the Amazon.
NolanGUEST
And do you kind of know why the indigenous people are so wary of outsiders and they go even deeper into the Amazon?
Ari ShaffirHOST
I know why.

In one video, he took the Whittakers on a shopping trip to Walmart, offering to supply them with groceries, new clothes, appliances, or whatever else they needed.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Although it's hard to imagine this happening with a modern family in the United States, what resulted can only be compared to an indigenous, secluded tribe like the Sentinelese being taken to such a store.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Most of the family, particularly Ray, who was nearly 70 by this point, had never even been shopping, let alone to a massive store like Walmart.
speaker_0NARRATOR
In another video, he took them to the state fair, where they stood out even among a rural family from West Virginia.
Joe BartolozziHOST
Unless, unless, actually, I'm correcting myself.
Joe BartolozziHOST
I don't know about, like, the North Sentinelese.
Joe BartolozziHOST
You know, I don't know.
Joe BartolozziHOST
I don't know about like individual tribes that don't intermingle.
Joe BartolozziHOST
I don't know how far you might need to even go further back pre pre like, you know, Homo sapien there.
Joe BartolozziHOST
Because if they've existed in their own area, like have the North Sentinelese been on that island for like 60,000 years? How long have the North Sentinelese been isolated? 60,000 years.
Joe BartolozziHOST
Which is fucking crazy, dude.
Joe BartolozziHOST
They've been on that same island? That same island for 60,000 years? Really? but they're still a causation for your existence.
Joe BartolozziHOST
Unless—unless—actually, I'm correcting myself.
Joe BartolozziHOST
I don't know about, like, the North Sentinelese.
Joe BartolozziHOST
I don't know about individual tribes that don't intermingle.
Joe BartolozziHOST
I don't know how far you might need to even go further back pre-Homo sapien there.
Joe BartolozziHOST
Because if they've existed in their own area, like haven't the North Sentinelese been on that island for like 60,000 years? How long have the North Sentinelese been isolated? 60,000 years.
Joe BartolozziHOST
Which is fucking crazy, dude.
Joe BartolozziHOST
They've been on that same island? That same island for 60,000 years?
James HarkinHOST
this is exciting.
James HarkinHOST
One thing that they're going to have an issue with is the Andaman Islands, the Sentinelese people who live on North Sentinel Island.
James HarkinHOST
If you go anywhere near them, they fire bows and arrows at you.
James HarkinHOST
And so no one has been on this island from the West for many, many, many years.
ReniHOST
As far as John knew, nobody had taken Christianity to them and he couldn't stop thinking about that.
ReniHOST
north sentinel island is a small island in the indian ocean it's very close to india it's home to a group of people called the sentinelese the island is covered in thick forest it has beautiful beaches coral reefs surrounding it the sentinelese have lived there for a very long time but nobody knows exactly how long and here's something quite fascinating We don't even know what they call themselves.
ReniHOST
Sentinelese is the name outsiders have given them.
ReniHOST
We don't understand their language.
ReniHOST
We don't know their exact population.
ReniHOST
But what we do know is that they hunt, they fish, they gather food from the forest, they use bows, arrows, homemade canoes.
ReniHOST
They've also been seen using metal collected from shipwrecks to make tools.
ReniHOST
Now the Sentinelese have actually experienced outsiders before and some of those encounters have been terrible.
RobHOST
Yeah, the closest you'll get nowadays is, like, the Amish, at least in our area.
RobHOST
Um, I mean, the Sentinelese are doing just fine, so.
KateHOST
[laughs]
RobHOST
They, they might have to stab a guy every now and then, but...
