Help me understand the race notation.

The following is from my father's birth record...

If I understand it correctly, my father is half Native American.

Can someone please translate this and confirm what I think I'm reading?

"Jose Rogaciano del Real hijo natural del comparente y de Maria Dolores Villasenor, de veinticinco anos, que es el primero en su estado, sindo sus progenitores de raza indigeno blanco y mexicanos por nacimient."

The actual document is posted in my folder if looking at the original will help.

Thanks in advance,
