They could be taking part in a tribal war reenactment, similar to our Civil War reenactments.

“The race is on! Who will get to them first, Christian Missionaries, Muslim Conquerors or Climate Change Soothsayers?”

Hmm... anyway the islands have tribes from several ethnicities. I had heard that the Nicobarese are from Africa.
