Abstract
The struggle of a Native American community for the control of the education
of their children is reviewed and analyzed from the theoretical perspective
of internal colonialism. 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.
