Quote HistoryQuoted: It is pretty crazy and obviously they have no problem killing someone. Which has to be a really rare event for them honestly. We have two fishermen, a missionary, and I think that may be all of the actual documented deaths. Was there another? |

The isolation and lack of contact is a modern construct. It wasn't always that way. In fact, prior outside contact was withdrawn.

Any attempt to bring them into the modern age, would likely kill them via disease.

Quote HistoryQuoted: There were visits by anthropologists about 30-40 years ago and while no one was killed they were chased off by the islanders and had arrows fired at them. Yea, but they kept going back and eventually would meet face to face. But that was authorized. Its fine if some people go, just not random interactions that would inevitably lead to more and more of the modern world infiltrating. Its their choice to keep and use the steel from the ship wrecks. They could throw it back in the sea, but they don't. They also kept some pots and pans given to them. |

Are we really keeping them in the stone age? They know something else exists, and they have boats. Have they left the island in search of something else? If so, I can't find any reference to it, nor of people forcing them to stay on the island if they tried.

OP sounds like a californian or new yorker who thinks they should move to the midwest and south to educate the dumb natives.
Personally, I think they should be left alone. Same with the south and midwest states. |

Reminds me of the story about the American Indians who had all day to fish and hunt while the women did all the work.
Until modern man changed their life and now the same Indians have to go to work every day and only have weekends off for hunting and fishing.  ETA found story: Where Did The White Man Go Wrong? Indian Chief 'Two Eagles' was asked by a white government official; "You have observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his technological advances. You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done." The Chief nodded in agreement. The official continued; "Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?" The Chief stared at the government official for over a minute and then calmly replied.. "When white man find land, Indians running it, no taxes, no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, clean water. Women did all the work, Medicine Man free. Indian man spend all day hunting and fishing; all night having sex." Then the chief leaned back and smiled; "Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that. |

So a bunch of people live on an island and want to be left alone. You have some kind of problem with leaving them alone, and then what? You want to go and kidnap them from their island and force them to live like you?
I have no issue with leaving them alone, but I do have an issue with your view on this. Why do you think you should be able to chose how other people live? I think maybe we should have a poll about what civilization should do with people like you. |

Then the government of India abruptly called a halt to the expeditions, and the next people to land there, by accident, were brutally murdered. Some think the islanders got pissed when the friendly visits and gifts stopped. |

You obviously didn’t read my thread because you have no clue of what my view is on this. I absolutely think they have a right to keep people off their island. My problem is that a third-party is doing it for them without their knowledge whatsoever hence keeping them in the Stone Age intentionally. I don’t give a shit if they wanna be left alone that’s perfectly fine. They should kill everyone that steps full on their island if they want to. But they’ve been kept out of history, essentially kept away from what would have actually happened, which is far more contact with the modern world, because of a government that they know nothing about, or even know it exists. A government that treats them like a pet project and allows certain scientists to go there, but keeps any other random person away but you’re cool with that? |
