As post-tsunami relief efforts continue, there are heartening signs:

"Happily, most of the Andamans' Negritos seem to have survived December's tsunami. The fate of one tribe, the Sentinelese, remains uncertain, but an Indian coast guard helicopter sent to check up on them came under bow and arrow attack, which is heartening." - Armand Marie Leroi, New York Times.
