Oceanian American

Oceanian Americans or Oceanic Americans are Americans whose ancestors came from Oceania.

There are basically two Oceanian American groups, that well represent the racial and cultural population of Oceania: Euro Oceanic American (Australian American, New Zealand American) and the Oceanic Indigenous of United States or Pacific Islander Americans (Chamorro Americans, Samoan Americans, etc.) Most of the Euro-Oceanians are descended from the European settlers in Oceania; while the so-called "Pacific Islanders" are of Indigenous Oceanic descent.^[1]
