Mark one or more categories to indicate what each person considers himself or herself to be. If you mark the "American Indian or Alaska Native" box, also print the name of the tribe(s) in which the person is enrolled. If the person is not enrolled in a tribe, print the name of the principal tribe. If you mark the "Other Asian" or the "Other Pacific Islander" box, print the name of the specific race(s) or group(s) in the space provided. The category Other Asian includes persons who identify themselves as Burmese, Hmong, Indonesian, Laotian, Pakistani, Thai, Cambodian, Sri Lankan, and so on. The category Other Pacific Islander includes persons who identify themselves as Fijian, Tongan, Polynesian, Tahitian, and so on. If you mark the "Some other race" box, print the race(s) or group(s) in the space provided. The question should be answered for ALL persons, regardless of citizenship status. 12 What is this person's ancestry or ethnic origin? __________________________ __________________________ (For example: Italian, Jamaican, African Am., Cambodian, Cape Verdean, Norwegian, Dominican, French Canadian, Haitian, Korean Lebanese, Polish, Mexican, Taiwanese, Ukrainian, and so on.) 12. Print the ancestry group(s). Ancestry refers to the person's ethnic origin or descent, "roots", or heritage. Ancestry also may refer to the country of birth of the person or the person's parents or ancestors before their arrival in the United States. Answer this question for ALL persons, regardless of citizenship status. Persons who have more than one origin and cannot identify with a single-ancestry group may report two ancestry groups (for example, German-Irish). Do not report a religious group as a person's ancestry.
