One would think the Cherokee being the most advanced Civilized Tribe and having a grasp of the written word and the only native people of North America to have a written language, we would find this story.

However, as a former Okie and having all the tribes as customers and friends and seeing their stories there is no such story anywhere, at all.

Go ahead and look on the walls of their Councils or lodges. You won’t find anything even remotely LDS related.

The Pawnee have no story.

The Osage have none.

The Cherokee, strangely are not describing anything that could be remotely construed to LDS anywhere though they have a very significant genealogy department so one may trace relatives or even become members of the tribe under certain criteria. http://www.cherokee.org/

Go ahead, look up the history of the other tribes(Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, Seminole and Ponca’s) and you will not find one iota or even spec of evidence concerning the LDS history and their people roaming the land from 2,000 BC to present day.

Were it so, where are they or where were they? Can we exhume some bodies for examination and DNA?

Do any current LDS members have unassailable proof of their progenitors here in the the Americas that would even remotely be seen as possible genetic inheritors of LDS blood or Lamenites or even Nephites?

I know well the history of each tribe and was very proud to meet many fine people such as Martha Moore, who was the 1st Miss Indian USA and I can assure you there was no history of White man or LDS types in their time line.

Or even Wilma Mankiller, the former chief of the Cherokee tribe and the President of the Pawnee Tribe, whose name escapes me at this time.

Come on revelators, where is this evidence?

My uncle the bishop told me there was proof because when Cortez got here, the natives were expecting him. Why you ask because he was white. So that proves that Jesus came to this continent. I mentioned that Jesus was probably dark skinned because He was from the middle east....the reply ‘no He was white”.

Thanks so much for that post, Vendome. Glad to have one so knowledgable about native tribes.

There has been extensive DNA studied conducted on Amerindians thorough out the western hemisphere. Much summarized here

That is why the bom lands keep getting smaller and smaller while apologists try to weasel-word the clear teaching and understanding of smith and the founders of mormonism.

President George E. Howel.

the President of the Pawnee Tribe, whose name escapes me at this time.

Now you have it back, though his name oughtta be George E. Perching Owl or some such.
