Yes, native Americans: people born here and not having gone through the official naturalization process.

If by "native American" you are harping on about the philosophically suspect claim that the ancient mongoloid and negroid populations are the only true natives of the Americas, then you should realize that most of the nations of these peoples recognize membership with even as little as 1/32 blood relation. The chances are pretty high that several US Congresscritters have at least this percentage of blood relation to one of these nations.
