Abstract
This chapter examines the incommensurabilities of the “internal” for indigenous peoples by providing a genealogy of the concept of “internal colonialism” and its emergences as a descriptor for the relationship indigenous peoples have with settler nation-states, in conversation with theoretician Antonio Gramsci and subaltern studies. The competing discourses and histories of racialization and colonization signal the incommensurabilities within the notions of “internal” indigenous nations. These incommensurabilities continue to play out over the 150 years of struggles among the Southeastern Indian nations to define who counts as citizens in their own nations and how those nations will continue to assert sovereignty tied to land after the radical breaches of removal and allotment, as well as address their national complicities with the historical violences of slavery.
