<p>I was filling out the common app, and this question came up. Normally I only mark myself as Hispanic and white for my race... but the wording of the question has me thinking.</p>
<p>I am half Kaqchikel, a group native to Guatemala but not to the U.S. Normally American Indian means only US/Canada Natives, but the wording below "all Original Peoples of the Americas" has me thinking its ok to select this option</p>
<p>Regardless of your answer to the prior question, please indicate how you identify yourself. (Check one or more)<br>
American Indian or Alaska Native (including all Original Peoples of the Americas)
Which best describes your background?<br>
Alaska Native
Chippewa
Choctaw
Cherokee
Navajo
Sioux
Other </p>
<p>(Explain other: )
Currently this what I have written down:
Kaqchikel (Guatemala) I am half Kaqchikel</p>
