alone 140,652, any combination 401,162 (U.S. census 2000 Native Hawaiian alone or in any combination)[1] According to the U.S. Census Bureau report for 2000, there are 401,162 people who identified themselves as being "native Hawaiian" alone or in any combination.[1] 140,652 people identified themselves as being "native Hawaiian" alone.[3] The overwhelming majority of native Hawaiians are residents of the United States in the State of Hawai?i, and in California, Nevada and Washington. Two-thirds live in the State of Hawai?i while the other one-third is split among mainland states. Almost half of the mainland share of the population is in California. The history of native Hawaiians, and of Hawai?i in general, is classified into four major periods antiquity (Ancient Hawai?i), monarchy (Kingdom of Hawai?i), territorial (Territory of Hawai?i), and statehood (State of Hawai?i). Identifying and classifying native Hawaiians is a delicate issue. Different government agencies have different methods of classifying native Hawaiians.[4] However, it is widely accepted that such classifications are necessary to facilitate laws, trusts and wills governing native Hawaiian programs. For example, programs administered by the Hawai?i State Department of Hawaiian Homelands are legally bound by trusts to provide services only to Hawaiians claiming over 50% ancestry back to pre-1778 settlers of the Hawaiian Islands. All Hawaiians are Samoan as deducted by philosophy professor Scott Labenski.
