Those that were not aware of the Sentinelese tribe, are now becoming well aware of the isolated group of people. Recently, a missionary has lost his life due to his attempt to interact

with, and bring religion to this well known group of people. The Sentinelese tribe are known for their last of contact with the modern world, as well as their aggressive behaviors towards any person or vehicle that goes near their civilization, located near India. Little is known about the Sentinelese tribe. They are thought to be darker skin, shorter than typical humans, averaging 5ft tall. As well, the tribesmen are skilled hunter gatherers, which is displayed through their skillful use of arrows. However, the Sentinelese tribe are not the only uncontacted or isolated tribes.


Sinabo

Many of the world's uncontacted tribes are located in South America and New Guinea; including the Sinabo. This tribe of people have been seen in Bolivia near the Yata River, but still many doubt their existence. However, as is the story with many uncontacted tribes, many believe these people practice cannibalism, and native people often stay away from the areas where these tribesmen are known to be located

Nukaak

The Nukaak people are located in Colombia, and may exemplify what you think when someone says Amazonians. The Nukaak are a nomadic group of hunter and gatherers. A few groups of these people have struck the interest of anthropologist, and have recently been contacted. Which has unfortunately led to the death of a large amount of these tribesmen due to diseases. However, some of these people continue to live in isolation, and other researchers have reported these groups to be hostile.

Ayoreo

The Ayoreo are in an indigenous group of people found in Paraguay. It was believed that many of the Ayoreo people has died in the early 1900s due to attempts to contact the people, which led to the spread of disease. However, recently, hikers and loggers in the area have reported seeing these indigenous groups. Since, the Paraguayan government has block increased destruction of these forest.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating.
