Abstract

The development of science, technology, and arts, especially information technology occurs dramatically and brings communities to modernity. Everything is changing; life is changing and very transformative because of it. Both positive and negative impacts of modernity appear and exist side by side and the negative ones cannot be avoided. Most victims of modernity are indigenous communities since they are not well-educated, and they do not have life skills meaningful and useful to survive themselves in the modern era, the industrial revolution 4.0. They are naturally marginalized by such conditions. This paper discusses how to save indigenous communities and prepare them to face the modernity. The real actions to facilitate them are 1) helping indigenous communities master English, 2) strengthening local wisdom, 3) improving indigenous’ life skills, 4) making resort villages, and 5) marketing indigenous communities’ products.These five components should simultaneously be conducted by either the government or non-government organizations. If the prepared programs are successfully conducted, the indigenous community will be able to survive themselves and follow the modernity in the industrial revolution 4.0 era.
