The evidence is that Native Americans are indeed Asian, or at least that Native Americans originally came from what we think of today as the Asian races. For instance, modern day Mayans have been genetically linked to modern day Mongolians. This was suspected before because of similar features that are unique to the two groups (Mongolian spots being almost exactly like Mayan birthmarks), but it was confirmed at some point by genetic research.
Additionally, a close analysis of Native American languages showed unmistakeable similarities to Asian languages.
However, the migration of those peoples took place quite a long time ago, and some differences have evolved since that time.

I have worked with Native Americans in the past and when I saw a China TV series about the rising of Genghis Kahn and the Mongolians, the similarities were so striking that if I had muted the TV, I wouldn't be able to tell whether it was the Mongolians or Native Americans. Even the ceremonies they performed and the supplies they used (head dress, colors, symbols, etc) were almost identical, at least to a layman like myself.
