Isolation?

Like the rest of the world, I've been fascinated by the recent demise of John Chau, the would-be evangelist to North Sentinel Island. I haven't been entirely impressed, though, with the way the media, in the West and in India, has been characterising the history of the North Sentinelese. I've argued, in this tweet thread, that the work of some young Pacific scholars can help educate the world's journos about their errors. It's too late for John, of course.
