"These diseases were similarly catastrophic to indigenous populations in the continental United States, and show a larger trend of violence and disease wiping out native people. The 1900 U.S. census identified 37,656 residents of full or partial native Hawaiian ancestry."
Native Hawaiians are basically non-existent today. They expanded the term to include pacific islanders and bumped the numbers up, but the museums in Hawaii track the heritage (Bishop museum has entire rooms dedicated to the destruction of the native populations and how low the numbers have gotten due to interbreeding thereafter.
Japanese, Korean, Pacific Islander, etc. are not Native Hawaiian unless you consider the whites there to be native as well.
If there are as many "Natives" as they say, most of us would be considered "Native American" by that same standard.
They need to vote red for once and get rid of the scammers.
