Just got done reading an article about indigenous groups and how a group of tribes called the Great Andamanese are slowing dying off. Specifically speaking, the Bo tribe, one of the tribes within the Great Andamanese, has become completely extinct after the last survivor passed away yesterday. Boa Sr was 85 years old and was a survivor in the tsunami in 2004 that killed many. Many linguists, activists and other support groups say people should help these tribes, support them with more food and care, but i think the indigenous tribes should try harder to open up to their supporters.
I know not all the tribes and its people are hostile and uncooperative but in the bottom half of the article it states that some of these indigenous groups (Sentinelese) are very hostile and not much is known about them because the don’t leave their island much… how are we supposed to help them?
