Neither. In the absence of any usable DNA from the skeleton, the only way of identifying race was by comparison of the skull shape and teeth with known Caucasian and modern native American populations - it resembled neither group, but was a much closer match to the Ainu and Polynesian type.
This should not be any kind of surprise, since both Ainu and Polynesian ancestors came from eastern Asia, just as the ancestors of modern native Americans did.
The evidence clearly indicates that Kennewick Man represents one of the waves of migrations of native American ancestor groups from Asia around 8,000 or 9,000 years ago; racial variations and developments since that time mean that he is not identical to modern native American populations - any more than a Mesolithic skeleton found in Britain would exactly resemble modern British people.
So the short answer is: native Americans are evolved fromKennewick Man and others like and unlike him.
