When Hawaii became one of the United States of America in 1959 its aboriginal people (the Polynesian Hawaiians) all became "native Americans" in the same sense that all the native peoples of Ohio are native Americans.
The Polynesian Hawaiians are not in any way related to the natives of the Continental USA, but their status is exactly the same; this is one of the main reasons why the term "native American" is in fact meaningless, since it applies to more than one kind of indigenous population. The term AmerIndian or American Indian is much more specific, since it does not include the Polynesian Hawaiians.
