With an estimated 50 to 200 members they are extremely hostile to any visitors from the outside world with a number of recorded events where sailors, fishermen and even missionaries have been attacked and killed just for turning up. The craziest part is because of the isolation of the island for hundreds of years as the world's evolved around them with cars, medicine technology, they remain untouched, and no one can even communicate with them, as nearly nothing is known about their language due to their extremely violent nature towards any outside visitors. This island is by many considered the most dangerous place on earth.
