No, the natives of Hawaii (Polynesians) are just as "native" to the present U.S as the Indian. So cram that in your peace pipe and smoke it.

Yes, native Hawaiians are native, but they are not necessarily Native Americans. Hawaii is not part of the continental United States. They are Polynesians. Native Americans are called that because they already occupied the continental United States when Europeans arrived. It would be ridiculous to call Hawaiians Native Americans, and frankly I think they would be offended. The Hawaiians I've known have been proud of their Polynesian heritage.

You know buddy, you are a stupid jerk! The natives of Hawaii are not natives to America, they are natives of Hawaii, it doesn't matter that Hawaii is now a state of America, Hawaiian natives are natives of Hawaii, put down your stupid pipe and sit on it , dumb ***! Furthermore, If American Indians were in charge of there country, America would be pristine, healthy, happy, war less, and would not be the lead player in the Game of Let's Terminate the Planet. Let's face it dude jerks like you are the reason your kids are toast, as well as mine! Thanks again, god help you!

Well I think the point is on the main-land Native Americans are the American Indians who have always been there. Hawaii wasn't always a part of the good old US. Key-words and phrases above are: "main-land" and "wasn't always a part of".

nicely I typically verify with them as interior of sight American because they don't look Indian. Indian refers to someone who's from India. i replaced into informed that it truly is the perfect time period to call them. I also agree about the Black American. i'm American a Black American of African ancestry. So Black American will be more desirable installation.

I'm tired of all this semantical mental masturbation. And I'm tired of of all the time and effort wasted on racial classifications and names.
I will just continue to call blacks, Indians, Eskimos and Orientals, 'blacks', 'Indians', 'Eskimos' and 'Orientals' and not worry about what the perpetually offended panty-waists think.

At the end of the day, why does this even matter?...I vote we should move on and spend energy on whats going on today, not griping about or arguing about things that happened way before our time...
