In January 1991, the team went to North Sentinel to meet the isolated tribe and establishing positive relation by giving them gifts. Cattopadhyay was the first woman who was among the team after giving the written undertaking letter to the government. The people of the tribe were afraid initially but after sometimes they came closer to the team. The team revisited the island later but during third visit, there was no one due to bad weather. Indian authorities abandoned their gift giving after 1991 ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"G8UbuMjD","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(\\uc0\\u8220{}Meet the First Woman to Contact One of the World\\uc0\\u8217{}s Most Isolated Tribes\\uc0\\u8221{})","plainCitation":"(“Meet the First Woman to Contact One of the World’s Most Isolated Tribes”)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":428,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/mlRB1JqV/items/59YSYJ89"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/mlRB1JqV/items/59YSYJ89"],"itemData":{"id":428,"type":"webpage","title":"Meet the first woman to contact one of the world’s most isolated tribes","container-title":"Culture & History","abstract":"Anthropologist Madhumala Chattopadhyay floated coconuts to the Sentinelese in an unusually friendly exchange with a tribe hostile to outsiders.","URL":"https://www.nationalgeographic.com/culture/2018/12/first-woman-chattopadhyay-contact-sentinelese-andaman/","issued":{"date-parts":[["2018",12,7]]},"accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",5,23]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (“Meet the First Woman to Contact One of the World’s Most Isolated Tribes”).
No, there is no such ethical way to contact the isolated tribes. These tribes prefer to be isolated because of the threat of diseases and mistreatment. Therefore, the government should maintain the no contact policy with these communities unless protection is not made against the threat of disease and mistreatment. Anthropologists believe that disease epidemics is developed from demographic inconsistency and reproductive effects and it can make the disappearance of these isolated communities in the future ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"cSBgIjzI","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Londo\\uc0\\u241{}o)","plainCitation":"(Londoño)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":431,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/mlRB1JqV/items/K9PWK98S"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/mlRB1JqV/items/K9PWK98S"],"itemData":{"id":431,"type":"article-newspaper","title":"Missionary’s Killing Reignites Debate About Isolated Tribes: Contact, Support or Stay Away?","container-title":"The New York Times","section":"World","source":"NYTimes.com","abstract":"There are dozens of communities that continue to live completely off the grid, mostly in the Amazon, where drug traffickers, miners and ranchers threaten them.","URL":"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/30/world/americas/isolated-tribes-sentinel-island.html","ISSN":"0362-4331","title-short":"Missionary’s Killing Reignites Debate About Isolated Tribes","language":"en-US","author":[{"family":"Londoño","given":"Ernesto"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2018",12,2]]},"accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",5,23]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Londoño).
