Following Foucault’s analytical model, this paper discusses how knowledge that constitutes power highlights the way the governing systems work in Indigenous education policy. Furthermore, this paper also deliberates on participation by the Orang Asli and the power held by them to influence the creation of education policy. Therefore, this paper reviews the current and the past reports from 1995 until 2014 that reflect the shifts in government policy of Indigenous education policy in Malaysia. Evidences from a range of reports, are thoroughly analysed through three main ideas; ‘governmentality’, power/knowledge’ and ‘discourse’ which are analytical approaches by Foucault.
