Native American and Asian

Filipino Americans have often married Native American and Alaskan Native American people. During the 17th century, when Filipinos were under Spanish rule the Spanish government guarantees a Filipino trade between the Philippines and the Americas. When the Mexicans rebelled against the Spanish, the Filipinos first escaped into Mexico, then traveled to Louisiana, where the only Filipinos married Native American women. In the 1920s, Filipino American communities of workers also grew in Alaska, and Filipino American men married Alaskan Native women. On the west coast, Filipino Americans married Native American women in Bainbridge Island, Washington. In the 1920's Japanese men married Eskimo women around western Alaska. During the 1930's, there was relatively common intermarriage between Japanese Americans and Cherokee Indians in California, since these ethnic groups were announced or working as farm worker and they worked together.
