Hello,
I dont want this thread to become a witch hunting over the interested, but. What is your conclusion over John Allen Chau?
If you are unfamiliar with the topic, John Allen Chau was an American citizen dead in 2018 trying to convert some Andamanese Islander tribe to Christianity. The Andamanese are one of the few Uncontacted Tribes of the World. Indians laws interdict without special autorizations to go trying to approach those people. His encounter with the named tribes happened a few times in a spare time watched closely by the Indians fishers that he payed to go bring him there, until he died in an unresolved way. The body was noticed in the coast by those Fishers but India authorities could not recover the body and United States refused to invastigated further on the case, probably thinking that he deserved it after outpassing so much restricitons. I personally think that we should not annoy those people, or even try to contact with them because they probably have a good mindset over what foreigners people would want from them. This is actually a very serious topic that could concern people from the Andamanese Islands but also Papua-New Guinea or Amazonia. Approaching those people could bring some deceases that they have not immunity for and kill the entire population in only few centuries. Is religion a pretext to go visit those people without autorizations?
