THe word bank is all about immagrants and also native americans

Based on your clarification that the word bank is focused on immigrants and Native Americans, here’s how you could fill in the blanks:

Chinese immigrants played a significant role in the construction of the Central Pacific track of the Transcontinental Railroad, while Irish immigrants played a significant role in the construction of the Union Pacific track.

If you're looking for a focus on Native Americans, we can reframe this, but the historical roles were primarily those of immigrant labor in the railroad constructions. Let me know if you have specific themes or terms you want to incorporate!
