The "American" is bull. Those folks should be "unknown." Actual American ancestry (ie Natives):
AZ-1 22.6%
NM-3 19.6%
OK-2 17.1%
AK-AL 15.4%
SD-AL 8.3%

Also for blacks:

IL-1 65.5%
LA-2 64.1% ( pre-Katrina)
MS-2 63.5%
NY-10 63.0%
IL-2 62.0%

Well, technically they are of American ancestry if their parents were born here.

Ok, then I suspect the most "American" district in the US is a heck of a lot higher than 35%.

Isn't 'American' ancestry codename for 'white racist redneck'?
It just means that your family has been here so long, that you don't know anything about your ancestry. I can't believe otherwise credible sources use it, especially when there is a "real" American ancestry that is something else entirely.

I'd like to see % Jewish by Congressional Districts. The "winners" would inevitably be in New York (with maybe a Chicagoland or South Florida district further down on the list.)

Don makes a valid point. Most of us (but not me) are hybrids mixed with hybrids. How does one identify with one specific ethnicity? I'm still annoyed that my people (Jewish) didn't make the list.
