Nephi's Neighbors: Some LDS Perspectives on Book of Mormon Peoples & Pre-Columbian Populations (CD)

Matthew P. Roper, "Nephi's Neighbors: Some LDS Perspectives on Book of Mormon Peoples & Pre-Columbian Populations," Mesa, Arizona: The Foundation for Apologetic Information & Research (FAIR), 2003.

LDS scholars overwhelmingly agree that there were other indigenous people in the New World when the Lehites arrived. Critics claim that such a belief is contrary to the official LDS position (at worst), or contrary to all the teachings of early General Authorities (at best). Matthew RoperÆs presentation demonstrates that many early LDS were open to the possibility that there were already people in the Americas prior to the coming of Book of Mormon peoples.

BONUS: The Windows Media Video format includes Margaret Blair-Young's presentation, "Black Latter-day Saints: A Faith-FULL History.

Matthew P. Roper is a Research Associate at the Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies. He is currently engaged in several research projects relating to the early Latter-day Saint history and the coming forth of the Book of Mormon.
