Lets say you wanted to reach North Sentinel Island undetected by them, and then try to somehow integrate into their community. How would you go about it? Be creative.

Lets assume diseases and immunity aren't an issue here. Everyone is biologically safe in this hypothetical.

Not trying to do anything of the sort. Just a thought I had while pooping at work.

  1. Be the same skin tone as them, and have the same features, you'll likely have to go full Tropic Thunder.

  2. Learn their language and cultural norms over decades of observation

  3. Somehow convince a community of under 200 people that you've been there the whole time and they just never noticed you.

It sounds crazy, but there was a bit on an early Zac Creger show called "Wrecked" where they'd add characters after the first season and the explanation was they'd been on the island the whole time and no one paid attention to them.

Hilarious show

Characters on the show (and the audience) are at least familiar with the concept of “stranger”. On NSI, the inhabitants can list every single known human in their universe—convincing them there’s a human they never noticed would be like convincing you there’s a natural number between 6 and 7 you never noticed before.
