Contrary to what many believe. Asian Pacific Americans are among our earliest settlers. Although the majority of Asians and Pacific Islanders came here after the turn of the century. Filipinos have been here even before the United States was founded. This year marks the 226th anniversary of Filipinos in America. As Asians and Pacific Islanders emigrated to the United States. they brought to this country a variety of rich and distinctive traditions and cultures. The heritage of each group is similar but by no means alike. Asian Pacific Americans are intensely proud both of being American. and also of their heritage.
