“New DNA Results Show Kennewick Man Was Native American”

As opposed to...? Why would this be a surprise?

I prefer the more accurate term ‘First Immigrant’, in any case.

I wouldn’t say ‘first’ immigrant, but simply one of the oldest that we have found and tested.

Native just means the first humans in some spot. Native Americans is an accurate term.

BTW for those who don't remember, the reason he was thought to be Caucasion was because the forensics expert who first looked at him had no expertise with ancient skeletons. He quickly realized his error and recanted the original idea.
