No! The islanders are of Asian decent. For native Americans to travel from North America to Samoa in canoes would be an utterly amazing engineering feat! Fresh food,water, native Americans did not have mass transit by boats to reach that far in the Pacific! But the Asians moved from china to Korea to Japan on westward! My opinion is that Native Americans are also decendants of Asians through Geographical adaptation!

What is the Rock's ethnic background?

The Rock is part African-American and part Samoan. The Rock is a 3rd-generation wrestler. His father is "Soulman" Rocky Johnson who, along with Tony Atlas, held the WWF tag team belts in the early '80s (if I'm not mistaken, they may have been the first black tag team champs). His grandfather (from his mother's side) was Samoan wrestling great "High Chief" Peter Maivia. Just a little more background regarding the question! The rock is part African American and he is half Indian The rock is mostly Samoan. I know this because I've read his biography.P.S. No offense but, you should all read more books. I don't see how The Rock can "mostly" be Samoan when his father is African American but whatever. Anyway, he's half Samoan and half African American. The rock is Samoan and African American. His mother is Samoan, and his Father is black.
