Kennewick Man was definitely not a Native American, according to the most recent study of the prehistoric remains. 
The
 9,300-year-old skeleton actually has more in common with Polynesians, 
according to Doug Owsley, an anthropologist with the Smithsonian 
Institute who released an updated review of the bones Wednesday. 
Owsley
 found that Kennewick man's skull has several similarities to the 
ancient coastal people in Asia, meaning he likely shares a common 
ancestor with modern day Polynesians.
