I must point out that you are still too much particular about defining their side of invasion to your mother land that took place roughly 500 years ago. Their-European side to your-Native Kuwakiutal. But the fact is you yourself have two mixed breed -from German origin and Kuwakiutal, so I have no idea why you are so particular about your ancestoral background, it must be nothing but a struggle between your different origins.
In our case I used to mention that main invasion/immigration took place roughly 2000 years ago, last resistance by natives lasted till around 700 A.D. Ainu people had resided till 1870s in Hokkaido, but almost all people dispersed because of the assimilation policy done by Meiji government.
Now nobody talks about our racial identity -almost all are so Asiatic, but some are so Caucasian. But nobody dare say he's European rather than Asian. Although we might point out that he's got Greek nose or pale skin, we don't say he's European. We define ourselves as Japanese since we are born and raised up hear. The same thing in the United States. No matter what the ethnical background they might have, they have to be defined as American.
Apart from that, you are very American in every sense of the word. Distinction in appearance is only skin deep.
