The objective is to identify the educational/cultural content broadcast on channels of Brazilian indigenous Youtubers. A virtual survey was conducted on channels of Brazilian indigenous Youtubers on the worldwide web, with the descriptors “Youtubers” and “indigenous education”. Fifteen channels were found on YouTube and produced by indigenous Youtubers. The analysis of the channels considered the contents about indigenous education and culture, as well as how this knowledge was disseminated in the virtual environment. Three thematic categories were identified: music and literature, daily, and politics. These sought to explain various forms of indigenous life, valuing their arts and cultures, demystifying prejudiced stereotypes, and strengthening the struggle for the recognition of indigenous history and rights through music, dances, handicrafts, interviews, videos, political mobilizations, etc. It was found that the channels on YouTube are essential vehicles for the propagation, valorization, and preservation of indigenous culture, including making it possible, in the educational scope, to better understand cultural diversity, strengthening a multicultural practice with more significant learning.
