First of all, Native Americans are NOT Hispanic. Hispanic as an ethnic term refers to the people of Latin America who have whole or partial Spanish descent. The Native American or Indígena population does not have any Spanish descent, so they are not Hispanic. Many Native Americans in Latin America, especially those in Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, and Bolivia do not speak Spanish or speak it very poorly because of minimal exposure to the Hispanic population.

However, all of the Native American Tribes in the United States (except the US Southwest) and Canada have no connection at all to Spanish language, Spanish culture, or Hispanic Ethnicity. One of the most prosperous Native American Tribes is the Tlingit in southern Alaska. There is absolutely nothing Hispanic about them at all.
