Should we consider Polynesians and Indigenous people of South America part of the Indo-Pacific family

@rambo

Latin America is across the oceans. too distant to trade.

I'm surprise. 

In  Alaska, Filipinos and Native American Indians get along fine.

@flower-girl

Pacific Islanders here in the states know us as Filipinos but Native American Indians are not accustomed to us Filipinos as of yet.  The largest population here in the Southwest are the Navajos.  I've met some as well as several different Native American Indians.

Native Indians in the Americas and Greenland to Madagascar. 

Madagascar was also settled by Southeast Asians over a thousand years ago and they are referred to as Malagasy.

Greenland Native Indians are on the Atlantic Ocean, while Malagasy people in Madagascar are on the Indian Ocean.
