The term "Native Americans" typically refers to the indigenous peoples of the United States, including various American Indian tribes. However, the term "Native Hawaiian" describes an ethnic group that is not American Indian but is recognized as indigenous to the U.S. Additionally, Alaska Natives, which include groups like the Inuit and Yupik, are also considered Native Americans but are distinct from American Indian tribes in the contiguous United States.
