If you mean the intrusion of the outside world into their idyllic  
lifestyle - no

If you mean the interviewee talking about Darwinian social evolution - yes

On the first count, I quote Noel Pearson, well known Australian  
indigenous activist
"Keep our diverse languages and cultural traditions by excelling in  
education and digital technologies, the only means of arresting the  
decline of our ancient and oral traditions"
"Maintain our identity as a people but encourage individual excellence  
in education and achievement"

On the second count, I am perplexed as to why that material was included
