North Sentinel Island, India

North Sentinel Island is a small and remote part of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, an archipelago of islands located in the Bay of Bengal. It is officially part of India, whereas it is actually located outside India’s territorial waters. The island is home to the Sentinelese, a tribe of around 50-400 people, who have been living there for tens of thousands of years.

The Sentinelese are the last surviving indigenous people on North Sentinel Island, which sits off the coast of the Andaman Islands. The Sentinelese are the only uncontacted people left in the world, and for this reason, they are also one of the most closely studied groups. They live independently, maintaining little to no contact with the outside world.
