The internet's changing things for indigenous communities in Brazil.

But some people worry about these changes.

The Matsés are one of the indigenous groups.

They first met the modern world in the 1970s.

They continue to live in a traditional way.

They hunt and fish.

They wear tattoos on their faces.

They live in Nova Esperança.

It's 500 kilometres away from any town.

Now, they can connect to Elon Musk's Starlink Satellite Internet.

Cesar Mayuruna says this will help education.

People can learn new skills.

In the past, it was hard for the communities to communicate.

They used a two way radio.

Sometimes, they travelled by canoes.

Now, the town's paying for the internet.

But, some Matsés don't want to lose their culture.

Indigenous leaders turn off the internet at night.

Only teachers, doctors and village leaders can use it.

Bene Mayuruna's happy for the internet.

Indigenous people can now use social media apps.

They can communicate with the world.

But how will this change their culture?
