The Dawnguard version of that eponymous DLC's main quest may as well be canon too, because I highly doubt the world will be covered eternal darkness by the next game.

There's nothing canon established about any past Hero in main-series games regarding their sex or race, so the same ambiguity will follow for the Last Dragonborn. I know that nothing about the main characters are ever truly canon aside from the storyline, but this "ancient nord art" and the dragonborn thing has a feeling to it that makes me think about Nords. Also, in those trailers, it was a Nord male warrior, as AzuraKnight said. I can't say anything for sure, but the details in Skyrim make me think that the dragonblood was passed down in a family of Nords. Given what's been said, at some point, elven blood could enter the family line and make it breton instead of Nord. Genetics, be it in a fictional world or not, are confusing to me. Guess that's what happens when they make such a detailed universe.
