The North Sentinel Island is home to the Sentinels, a small tribe who has inhabited the island for thousands of years. The island is completely untouched by modern civilization and they will kill any outsiders who try to get too close to their land. No one has ever gone or left this island without fleeing immediately or being slaughtered by the Sentinelese upon arrival. These islands were formally a part of the Republic of India but India has declared a few of these islands including the North Sentinel Island closed to the outsiders in order to preserve the distinct culture of these lands.
The Sentinelese maintains an essentially hunter-gathering society, obtaining their subsistence through hunting, fishing, and collecting wild plants and there is no evidence of any agricultural practices.
As for Sentinelese tribe tools used in daily life as arrows in the coral-fringed reefs for crabs and fish, including striped catfish-eel and the toothed pony fish. Besides hunting for animals, Sentinelese tribe also gather fruits, wild roots, tubers and honey.
