This research intends to explore the manifestation of colonization in the cultural politics of indigenous education and schools. The researcher addresses issues around schools which aim to protect the political and economic interests of the mainstream society. Schools, on the one hand, produce the illusion of social progress and stereotyping ethnic minority cultures. On the other hand, schools use social welfare as resources to enhance the ideology of modernity and capitalist mindset. The mechanism of internal colonization embedded in schools teaches indigenous children become school's children whose desire for better life and society are colonized. Thus, the researcher suggests that indigenous education should begin with de-schooling, in order to regenerate education for indigenous people. Indigenous education should links to community lives, teach children to learn from families who work together to take care of each other in the community. Homeplace should be seen as a site for decolonization in order to regain the passionate, educative, practical knowledge and values in indigenous education. The researcher concludes that the challenges of indigenous education is to reverse desire, rethink poverty, become subject, connect to homeplace, and develop reflexive social resistance. |
