They're not part of the same cultural GROUP as Native Americans. Your argument is saying that you can call them Native Americans because they're native peoples who live in a part of the American continents. And Alaska may be connected to the same landmass but it's still very isolated due to mountains and water, particularly before cars.

I'm not saying they're the same. I agree they're a different culture group. But the reason that Native Alaskans are not Native Americans is a different reason from the reason that Native Hawaiians are not Native Americans, which is why it's a bad comparison, which is all that I've ever been saying.

What is that reason? You mentioned there was a justification for calling Native Alaskans as Native Americans, and I can't think of one.

DA

Best guess: because they're still an indigenous people of AMERICA.

I have been given to understand that grouping all "Native Americans" as one cultural group is mistaken as well. The differences were apparently quite big /not an expert on the subject, has a First Nations friend

I was gonna say the same thing. You can make some general groupings by geographical areas, such as the Plains, Pacific Northwest, Southwest, etc, but even within those groupings there were different tribes who were often at war with each other over different resources.

(Please don't ask me for more details, this is stuff I vaguely remember from history class a quarter of a century ago.)
