Not sure, Greg. I remember the photo of the islanders aiming arrows at helicopters. A riveting image of a much longer chapter in our existence, still flickering on those islands, then just the mere last several thousand representing civilization.

Although that article is dated July 2013 and says "last week....", it must have been retrieved from an earlier source because Boa Senior sadly died in January 2010.
The numbers of the Bo people actually grew from 3 to 15 in the late 1900’s and there are a handful of them still at the Strait Island reservation. None of them speak the original Bo language (Boa Senior was the last native speaker), and intermarriage with other tribes has almost – but not quite - wiped out their culture.
I keep six honest serving-men (they taught me all I knew); Their names are What and Why and When and How and Where and Who.
