John Allen Chau traveled to North Sentinel Island with the help of fisherman who may have suggested he not go. Regardless, he continued on in a kayak. He knew the island was off-limits, according to officials and reports, but believed he’d been given the strength and authority by Jesus and set off.
The Sentinelese of the Andaman Islands in India is among the world’s last ‘uncontacted’ people, who violently resist contact with the outside world.
As soon as Chau landed on the remote atoll, he was fired on by a torrent of arrows aimed by Sentinelese, the fiercely private inhabitants protected by Indian law.
