The theory of internal colonialism is briefly reviewed. Emphasis is given to the place of racial control. It is shown how the educational system of the Bureau of Indian Affairs is a means of racial control. This control is both structural and subjective. That is, it operates both through the institutional structures of the social system and through the more subjective aspects of everyday lives and the interactions of individuals. The reactions of the colonial oppressors to the attempts of the Native Americans to gain a voice in the control of their school illustrates the full extent of this control.enCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-UScolonialismBureau of Indian Affairsracial controlideological racismOther
