On forms I’ve usually seen Native American and Alaska Native listed together. Native Hawaiian is listed with Pacific Islander (which includes US possessions such as Guam). Either status will be beneficial to you, especially the Tribal ID if you are near an Indian Reservation (the latter does not have to do with admissions). I think the only place where Native Hawaiians would be common would be in Hawaii. Regardless, your status makes it easier to qualify for some federal programs during college.
