How modern civilization has impacted the spiritual lives of the indigenous peoples you explored?

It's native to a particular area or country. Certainly there have been different impacts in different areas and countries. But overall one could say that modern civilization has effected the spiritual lives of indigenous peoples by exposing them to ideas and viewpoints that their spiritual traditions had not previously encountered. A simple example would be air travel. Ancient mythologies typically tell of supernatural beings or spirits who fly through the air. Exposure to airplanes and the perfectly ordinary human beings flying in airplanes necessarily changes the meaning of "one who flies." Other modern technologies have changed the way all people, not just indigenous peoples, think about the difference between what is spiritual and what is "natural." Considering how accustomed we have become to special affects and pyrotechnics, any "god" would have a hard time impressing 21st Century Humanity. Many things which we consider quite ordinary in modern civilization would have been considered miraculous and signs of deity only a relatively short time ago: talking at a distance .... telephone appearing in a crystal... television music / voices from the air ... radio traveling across the world in a single day healing deadly diseases plucking fire from "nowhere" ... matches killing / wounding at a distance ... gun powder seeing through solid material ... x rays, sensors
