Malian Americans (French: Américains maliens) are an ethnic group of Americans with ancestry originating in Mali. According to the US Census Bureau[3] ancestry survey, approximately 1,800 Americans stated they had Malian ancestry, making them Malian Americans. The survey did not take into account undocumented immigrants or people who did not participate in the survey, which could mean that many more uncounted Malians live throughout the United States.
