2. A note on Native Hawaiian students: Native Hawaiian students are sometimes included in discussions about education for Native
Youth. National statistics on the Native Hawaiian population are not consistently grouped with those of American Indian/Alaska Native
students. As such, we have chosen to limit our discussion in this paper to American Indian/Alaska Native students.
