I wonder what it's like to be Sentinelese...

This isn't directly related to the guy who was killed. It just reminded me of them.

Like, what is their culture like? What are their myths and legends? How is their language built up, grammar-wise? What do they tell each other about outsiders to make them refuse outsider interaction with a burning passion?

I feel like they don't allow outsiders in to protect them from disease and sickness. They dont have the immunities to stuff like we do so simple sicknesses could wipe out their whole population maybe

@Complexconfessions I mean, that's the reason why people aren't allowed to go there, but...
They have been antagonistic towards outsiders since like, the 17th century. I refuse to believe they only think of diseases. Are we the devil in their eyes? I really wish I knew what their life is like 😭

@NorthernRoses I was thinking about all this yesterday lol. Maybe early run ins with other tribes left them feeling like they couldn't trust anyone. I don't know but Im curious as well lol
