PORT BLAIR: Indian authorities said on Friday (Nov 23) they are investigating whether a young American believed to have been killed by an isolated tribe on a remote island, may have had help from more people than initially thought to make his illegal trip.
John Chau, 26, was allegedly killed on Nov 17 by people of the Sentinelese tribe who inhabit the North Sentinel Island in the Andaman and Nicobar island chain.


Chau's family said in a social media post he was a Christian missionary and mountaineer.

It is illegal for people to visit the island and seven people suspected of helping Chau reach it, including fishermen, have been arrested.
The fishermen told police that they saw Chau's body being dragged across a beach and buried in the sand.


Police are now investigating if Chau had help from other people to travel to North Sentinel, said Vijay Singh, senior superintendent of police in Andaman and Nicobar islands, in a statement.
Police plan to investigate "the sequence of events, the sea route followed", and other matters, said Singh.
The Sentinelese, hunter-gatherers armed with primitive spears and bows and arrows, are considered to be the last pre-Neolithic tribe in the world and the most isolated such group.
The tribe, estimated to be only a few dozen in number, have for decades aggressively resisted contact with the outside world.
Anthropologists were briefly in contact with the tribe in the early 1990s, but their effort was abandoned due to fears that contact with the outside world could expose the tribe to pathogens and lead to their extinction.
North Sentinel, 50km west of Port Blair - the capital of the island cluster - is protected by laws which bar even fishing within a 5-nautical mile radius of the island.
The law also bars tourism or photography of the Sentinelese and certain other tribes in the Andaman islands. Those found guilty of breaking the law face jail of up to three years.

In their social media post, Chau's family called on authorities to release his friends in the Andaman Islands saying they did not blame anyone for his death.
Dependra Pathak, director general of police in the Andaman and Nicobar islands, told Reuters police had to follow the law.
"I understand the emotional concern of the family," he said. "But we'll be handling the entire issue keeping in mind the law."
He said authorities were looking into whether they could retrieve Chau's body.
"We have to respect the utmost sensitivities in this case," he said, adding it was a moral duty to protect and respect the tribe that has lived in isolation for millennia.

US man wrote ‘God sheltered me’ before trip turned deadly

November 23

NEW DELHI — The young American, paddling his kayak toward a remote Indian island whose people have resisted the outside world for thousands of years, believed God was helping him dodge the authorities.

“God sheltered me and camouflaged me against the coast guard and the navy,” John Allen Chau wrote before he was killed last week on North Sentinel Island.

Indian ships monitor the waters around the island, trying to ensure outsiders do not go near the Sentinelese, who have repeatedly made clear they want to be left alone.

When a young boy tried to hit him with an arrow on his first day on the island, Chau swam back to the fishing boat he had arranged to wait for him offshore. The arrow, he wrote, hit a Bible he was carrying.

“Why did a little kid have to shoot me today?” he wrote in his notes, which he left with the fishermen before swimming back the next morning. “His high-pitched voice still lingers in my head.”

Police say Chau knew that the Sentinelese resisted all contact by outsiders, firing arrows and spears at passing helicopters and killing fishermen who drift onto their shore. His notes, which were reported Thursday in Indian newspapers and confirmed by police, make clear he knew he might be killed.

“I DON’T WANT TO DIE,” wrote Chau, who appeared to want to bring Christianity to the islanders. “Would it be wiser to leave and let someone else to continue. No I don’t think so.”

Indian authorities have been trying to figure out a way to recover Chau’s body after he was killed last week by islanders who apparently shot him with arrows and then buried his body on the beach.

A team of police and officials from the forest department, tribal welfare department and coast guard on Friday launched a second boat expedition to the island to identify where Chau died.

The officials took two of the seven people arrested for helping Chau get close to the island in an effort to determine his route and circumstances of his death, according to a statement issued by police for the Andaman and Nicobar islands, where North Sentinel is located.

Chau paid fishermen last week to take him near North Sentinel, using a kayak to paddle to shore and bringing gifts including a football and fish.

“Since the Sentinelese tribespeople are protected by law to preserve their way of life, due precautions were taken by the team to ensure that these particularly vulnerable tribal groups are not disturbed and distressed during this exercise,” the statement said. The team returned later Friday.

The police and the coast guard had carried out an aerial survey of Northern Sentinel Island earlier in the week. A team of police and forest department officials also used a coast guard boat to visit the island Wednesday.

Officials typically don’t travel to the North Sentinel area, where people live as their ancestors did thousands of years ago. The only contacts, occasional “gift giving” visits in which bananas and coconuts were passed by small teams of officials and scholars who remained in the surf, were years ago.

Police are consulting anthropologists, tribal welfare experts and scholars to figure out a way to recover the body, said Dependera Pathak, director-general of police on the Andaman and Nicobar islands.

Scholars know almost nothing about the island, from how many people live there to what language they speak. The Andamans once had other similar groups, long-ago migrants from Africa and Southeast Asia who settled in the island chain, but their numbers have dwindled dramatically over the past century as a result of disease, intermarriage and migration.

Chau estimated the island had about 250 inhabitants, with at least 10 people living in each hut.

“The tribe’s language has a lot of high pitched sounds like ba, pa la and as,” he wrote.

It’s not clear what happened to Chau when he swam back to the island the next morning. But on the morning of the following day, the fishermen watched from the boat as tribesmen dragged Chau’s body along the beach and buried his remains.

Five fishermen, a friend of Chau’s and a local tourist guide have been arrested for helping Chau, police say.

In an Instagram post, his family said it was mourning him as a “beloved son, brother, uncle and best friend to us.” The family also said it forgave his killers.

Authorities say Chau arrived in the area on Oct. 16 and stayed on another island while he prepared to travel to North Sentinel. It was not his first time in the region: he had visited the Andaman islands in 2015 and 2016.

With help from the friend, Chau paid fishermen $325 to take him there, Pathak said.

After the fishermen realized Chau had been killed, they left for Port Blair, the capital of the island chain, where they broke the news to Chau’s friend, who notified his family, Pathak said.

Chau, whose friends described him as a fervent Christian, attended Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Before that he had lived in southwestern Washington state and went to Vancouver Christian High School.

Christian group invites ridicule with demand of murder charges against Sentinelese

Chidanand Rajghatta | TNN | Updated: Nov 24, 2018, 17:44 IST




Highlights

  • The organisation International Christian Concern has expressed concern over the "murder" and sought action on the matter
  • This despite Chau having gone to the forbidden island in the Andaman’s, in violation of the law, to proselytize without registering as a missionary, also in violation of laws

WASHINGTON: A US fundamentalist Christian group has sought murder charges against "those responsible" for the death of American adventurer and provocateur John Allen Chau + , amid growing doubts about his evangelical credentials and ridicule over his conversion efforts directed at an ancient tribe that predates organised religion.

While details of 27-year old’s misadventures are trickling out by the hour, the organisation International Christian Concern has expressed concern and sought action on the matter. This despite Chau having gone to the forbidden island in the Andaman’s, in violation of the law, to proselytise without registering as a missionary, also in violation of laws.

"Our thoughts and prayers go out to both John’s family and friends. A full investigation must be launched in this this murder and those responsible must be brought to justice," the organisation told a website LAD Bible, which itself did not support his mission.

"The indigenous people of North Sentinel are protected by law and it is illegal to go over to the island -- not that you'd want to, given that they have a reputation for killing anyone who tries," it noted, adding, "It is also important that the Sentinelese are left alone because they could be susceptible to diseases."

But groups such as the International Christian Concern, which has previously complained about the treatment of Christians in India, notably with a report last week on the situation in Jharkhand, suggest the Sentinelese tribesmen who allegedly killed Chau should be charged with murder. The demand has been greeted derisively on social media, with taunts that the group’s representatives should perhaps go to island to personally serve summons.

The Trump administration and US lawmakers have so far refrained from commenting on the matter, with the long Thanksgiving weekend giving everyone a respite from the news cycle. But the young adventurer’s family sought to move past the incident that claimed their son’s life.
 
Anyway, more background story of these Sentinelese people has been revealed online. One of the first outsiders to contact them was a British guy named Maurice Portman back in the late 1800s. He did pretty humiliating things to the natives like measuring their penises and balls.. and ended up accidentally infecting them with modern flu pathogens which killed a couple of them. Since then the natives have been unfriendly towards outsiders.

The last 2 guys who got killed by them were 2 Indian fishermen who drifted ashore in 2006. Their bodies were hung on the beach which showed the natives aren't cannibals. There was also a NatGeo team which made contact with them in early 90s and it's on YouTube. they seemed happy with receiving coconuts thrown near the shore.

Too late to post the links but search for a Twitter known as "Respectable Lawyer" if anyone wants to read up more on them
 
Now we found a perfect exile paradise for Chow Ang Moh so that we can banish them one by one to get cannibalized. Huat Ah!
