It looks like the last verified contact with them has been in 2018. Recently a youtuber went there and tried to get their attention, but couldn’t find them.

Is it possible they’re not even still around? Maybe a disease found its way onto their island and took them out. It could have even been from the last visitor in 2018.

    I watched a documentary on tribes in Papa New Guinea… FYI it was NOT a garden of eden. They were constantly killing each other, fighting off famine, dealt with health problems raw.

    Did not look as glamorized as our western brains imagine it to be.

    • What’s your point? We don’t have to manifest destiny every single plot of land and genocide every non-white people on the fucking planet. They can live how they want to.
