Al, I am hapa haole. Native Indians were here before the white man but were forced to become citizens of the US. Hawaiians were also a nation before the white man arrived but were forced (at gunpoint) to become a territory of the US. So, to answer your question Hawaiians are Native Americans if we consider Hawaii to be America. Actually, Hawaii was a sovereign nation prior to becoming a territory and then a state of the US. But I'm sure Hawaiians prefer to be Americans rather than a colony of the Japanese.
