Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Sentinelese
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) This image will serve a visual identification of the Sentinelese people. This specific 1974 photograph will show their appearance, traditional attire, and weaponry. It allows the reader to immediately identify the subject of the article through an image that is explicitly discussed in the "History of contacts" section of the text.
Not replaceable with
free media because (WP:NFCC#1) 		The software or website from which the screenshot is taken is copyrighted and not released under a free license, so creation of a free image is not possible. Furthermore, a "free" replacement is impossible to obtain; the Sentinelese live in voluntary isolation and Indian law (Andaman and Nicobar Islands Protection of Aboriginal Tribes Regulation 1956) strictly prohibits any travel to the island or photography of the inhabitants. Therefore, no free alternative can ever be legally created.
Not replaceable with
textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1) 		A text description cannot accurately convey the unique physical characteristics and the specific craftsmanship of the Sentinelese longbows and fiber adornments.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) The image is a low-resolution version of the original National Geographic photograph, It is used only once in the article.
Respect for
commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) 		The use of a low resolution screenshot from software or a website will not impact the commercial viability of the software or site.
