Primary source here to save the day:
US numbers I believe are reporting % of Hawaiians that identify as
"Native American" on the census, not
"Native Hawaiian".
"Native American" race alone or in combination with one or more other races:
2.5%
"Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander" race alone or in combination with one or more other races:
26.2%
For the purists out there,
"Native Hawaiian" one race:
5.9% (But as we know in Canada, you're more likely to find a mixed race Hawaiian than a 100% ethnically Hawaiian Hawaiian)
