A 24-year-old American tourist, Mykhailo Viktorovych Polyakov, was arrested in India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands after allegedly attempting to contact the Sentinelese, one of the world's most isolated and uncontacted tribes. He reportedly sailed to North Sentinel Island, a restricted area, and left offerings including a can of Coke and coconuts. Experts warn that such contact could expose the tribe to deadly diseases due to their lack of immunity. The incident has reignited concerns about the dangers posed by tourists and social media influencers seeking viral content at the expense of indigenous communities. Authorities emphasize that visiting the island is illegal and potentially fatal, as demonstrated by the 2018 killing of another American who attempted contact.
