An American missionary trying to meet and convert one of the most isolated tribes in the world offered them fish and other small gifts before the tribesman killed him and buried his body on the beach, the National Post website reports today (November 22, 2018).
John Allen Chau, 26, of Vancouver, Washington, an instagram adventurer who also led missionary trips abroad, traveled to the Andaman Islands -- an Indian territory in the Bay of Bengal.
Chau's journal of his last days, shared with the National Post by his mother, shows a treacherous journey in a small fishing boat to the area where the small tribe lived in huts. The men acted angrily to his presence as he tried to speak their language and sing "worship songs" to them, he wrote.
Apparently, one of the tribesmen shot at Chau with an arrow, which is believed to have killed him.
