Geographically, no. While usually classed under the same racial classification as Chinese/Japanese/Korean/etc. (Mongoloid), they are endemic to the Americas.

If you want to go by the strictest definition (inhabitants of Asia), no. Many Native American tribes originated in America. There is no Asian race either.

However, they are technically apart of the Mongoloid race, which includes Chinese and Japanese. The original Native Americans were Mongoloids of the Altai mountains and crossed through a land bridge.

No! The islanders are of Asian decent. For native Americans to travel from north America to Samoa in canoes would be an utterly amazing engineering feat!
