"The invisible population that is virtually ignored by the census is that of indigenous people from Mexico, Central and South America."^[166] In addition, there are Cherokee and other Native Americans from the US, and Pacific Islanders like Native Hawaiians from Hawaii, Samoa and other Pacific Islands. ^{[citation needed]}
