American YouTube faces prison after trying to contact the most isolated tribe

Another American social media influencer has done something stupid – incredibly respectable – abroad.

In March, Utiper tried to name Mykhailo Viktorovych Polyakov, which is published under the name “The New Capital”, illegally interacting with a protected group of indigenous population called Sentiniles, according to statement Through Survival International, an organization calling for the rights of indigenous and tribal population. The two guards are one of the most dismissed indigenous population in the world, according to the organization, which means that contact with foreigners may lead to the spread of destructive diseases within their societies.

The goalkeeper lives on North Sentenil, the size of Manhattan in the Indian Ocean, and they violently resist contact with all foreigners. After repeated attempts to contact Sentinilese in the 1970s, eighties and nineties, violence ended – and in some cases, the Indian government stopped trying to hold a friendship with them, according to Survival International. It is currently – and there is no ambiguity in it – to visit North Sentenil.

But it seems that this does not care about Polakov, who fell on the island for a long time to leave coconut and the Cola box, and fortunately he did not see any of the guard. The Indian authorities arrested him, and now faces YouTube at the time of a possible prison.

“In a reckless attempt to attract attention on social media, his illegal actions could wipe the entire decisive tribe by introducing new diseases such as influenza that has no immunity,” the international statement is read to survive.

In fact, contact with strangers has previously measured isolated indigenous communities. Residents of the people of ONGE, who live on the nearby Andaman island, It decreased by 85 % After the arrival of the British colonists and Indian settlers, according to the survival survival. The great people suffered more severe consequences: their population It decreased by 99 % After forced contact.

Polakov could have killed himself. Even if he receives the prison sentence, his violation will remain happier than John Allen ZhaoBusher from the United States, who illegally visited North Sentenil, in an attempt to preach its residents, and was finally killed by the guard.

Very little is known about the guard. What we know comes from the observations made from boats floating outside the scope of the guardian archers, as well as very few interactions that did not turn into violence – such as 1991, when the guard accepted gifts from Indian officials.

The guard seems to maintain their way of life in rainforests by hunting, gathering and fishing on boats similar to boat, and they live in large shared huts or smaller temporary shelters. It also makes arches, arrows, spears and international reports to survive. Many observers have documented the presence of children and pregnant women, where the population is estimated at about 150. However, we do not know what the guard, or the island they live on.

In the nineteenth century, a British officer led a party to the island, where they kidnapped the elderly and four children. The elderly individuals died, after which the children were returned to the island with gifts. Although we do not know what the broader consequences of these procedures are, it is possible that children would have their community with foreign diseases. This, along with other experiences, may have shocked the generations that have strengthened people’s rejection of foreigners.

“The two guards have made it clear that they do not want to contact,” as the international statement is read to survive. “It is a wise option.”
