Americans are citizens of the United States of America. The country is home to people of many different national origins. As a result, most Americans do not equate their nationality with ethnicity, but with citizenship and allegiance. Although citizens make up the majority of Americans, non-citizen residents, dual citizens, and expatriates may also claim an American identity.
The majority of Americans or their ancestors immigrated within the past five centuries, with the exception of the Native American population and people from Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippine Islands who became American through expansion of the country in the 19th century, and American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Northern Mariana Islands in the 20th century.
Despite its multi-ethnic composition, the culture of the United States held in common by most Americans can also be referred to as mainstream American culture, a Western culture largely derived from the traditions of Northern and Western European colonists, settlers, and immigrants. It also includes influences of African-American culture. Westward expansion integrated the Creoles and Cajuns of Louisiana and the Hispanos of the Southwest and brought close contact with the culture of Mexico. Large-scale immigration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries from Southern and Eastern Europe introduced a variety of elements. Immigration from Asia, Africa, and Latin America has also had impact. A cultural melting pot, or pluralistic salad bowl, describes the way in which generations of Americans have celebrated and exchanged distinctive cultural characteristics.

The Native Americans - A Documentary Film Native Americans who live within the boundaries of the current United States (consisting of the indigenous folks of Alaska and Hawaii) are maded of many, unique people, bands and ethnic groups, several of which make it through as intact, sovereign countries. The term "Native American" has been taken on by major papers and some academic groups, yet does not traditionally include Native Hawaiians or particular Alaskan Natives, such as Aleut, Yup'ik, or Inuit peoples. Since the end of the 15th century, the movement of Europeans to the Americas has actually led to centuries of dispute and modification between Old and New World cultures. Lots of Native Americans have historically lived as hunter-gatherer cultures and preserved their pasts by dental tr...
