#1 Leave it to the tribe to give a lesson to the world: self-reliance over victimhood. The Dummycrats wouldn't like that, no.

the Sentinelese tribe, the most isolated of the aboriginal groups, who used bows and arrows

Am I the only one who thought of "The Sentinel" (semi-scifi syndicated TV show a few years back) when reading this?

When I get some time, I'm going to google the tribe; I'd love to know more about them.

#6 Here's one: http://www.andamanindia.com/people.htm

From the site: "The Sentinelese make and use outrigger parallel canoes driven with long poles. They also possess bows and arrows." No shit, Sherlock. :-D

Also a picture at the site; seems these natives are African pygmies (or possibly Aussie Aboriginals). Assuming they came by sea, that's one hell of a journey from either place.
