John Allen Chau
John Allen Chau was an American missionary who made international headlines in 2018 when he was killed by the Sentinelese tribe after attempting to make contact with them on North Sentinel Island. His mission was to convert the isolated tribe to Christianity, which sparked a global debate about the ethics of engaging with indigenous populations that have chosen to remain untouched by modern society.
