Hispanic..

Part Native and part Spanish.

I wonder what they’d call them if they were part USA American Native and Part Spanish...

There’s no linguistic basis for that claim.
The ancient Romans called Spain “Hispania.”

Now the island comprising Haiti (French) and the Dominican Republic (Spanish) is “Hispaniola.”

I suppose Mestizo would describe such a person.

Mestizo is the proper term for someone Spanish and Native American. I’m a Mestizo-the only folks who are not are those who have pure Spanish blood-and that is unlikely, unless your ancestors just got off the plane from Spain and only bred with someone fresh from Spain-otherwise, they are as mestizo as the rest of us...
