US missionary’s body could be lost in battle to preserve isolated tribe 209 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseThe body of American missionary-adventurer John Allen Chau may never be recovered from the lost island where he fell in a volley of arrows fired by a reclusive tribe whose existence is threatened by the modern world, say experts. Indian authorities — who do not dare enforce their rule over North Sentinel island — have not even tried to send police ashore to question the tribe who have been greeting outsiders with hostility for centuries. Police sent a boat near North Sentinel for the second time since the killing on Friday. “Due precautions were taken by the team to ensure that this particularly vulnerable tribal group are not disturbed and distressed during this exercise,” said a police statement.
