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

Open source article here - The ancestry and affiliations of Kennewick Man

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.

The real shocker, see post #105 on the below linked thread, these people are European

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

Bye, Bye Beringia (8,000 Year Old Site In Florida)

"*Skeletal remains of 169 people, split almost evenly between males and females, ranging from 6 to 70 years old. About 75 of the skeletons were relatively intact.
*90 intact human brains that include the oldest DNA samples in the World.
*Artifacts of wood, bone, and seed that were made into jewelry and tools, providing insight into the ancient peoples' lives.
*Tests showed the oldest skeletons were buried 8,100 years ago. The youngest was placed in the ground 6,900 years ago. "To put this into context," Doran said, "these people had already been dead for 3,000 or 4,000 years before the first stones were laid for the Egyptian pyramids!"

That's not correct. He described some of the features of the skull as "caucasoid" - he never declared it to be caucasian. James Chatters is an archaeologist and founded a firm "specializing in forensic and archaeological consulting" and in that capacity had worked with ancient skeletons, though not one that was 9500 years old, since there were only a few that were that old ever found in North America. As far as quickly recanting any error, he wrote a book five years after the discovery and didn't recant anything.
