Kennewick Man ate fish, but still no clue to his origins

Back to my favourite native American.
More studies have found that Kennewick Man ate a diet of fish, which means he chose not to hunt large game animals, and these were plentiful in the area in which his body was found. The article suggests he had, “some deeply-held belief system that caused him to reject terrestrial meat from his diet” but, if Kennewick Man was brought up in a location where his family only lived on a fish diet, maybe hunting big game wasn’t even a part of his consciousness. Does that still mean it’s a belief system?
The most interesting thing is that Kennewick Man is not related to any of the tribes that exist in North America so, even though he is still considered a native American, the question of where he came from is still open to debate…
