They are the most isolated Indigenous people in the world. The tribe lives on their own small forested island called North Sentinel in the Indian Ocean. It is not known for certain, but the ancestors of the Sentinelese may have lived on the island for over 50,000 years. The tribe is believed to live in three small bands and constructs two types of shelters: large communal huts with multiple hearths for several families, and more temporary, open-sided shelters seen on the beach, accommodating single-family units. Sentinelese is the unclassified language that the Sentinelese people of North Sentinel Island speak. The Government has promulgated various laws/regulations from time to time to ensure that the rights and well being of the Sentinelese are safeguarded. These are being strictly implemented and enforced by the UT Administration. These Laws/Regulation include i) A &N Islands (PAT) Regulation 1956, ii) Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, iii) Restrictions under Foreigner (Restricted Area) Orders, 1963, iv) Visa Manual Conditions/Passport Act 1920, and ...
