Answer 1

The Book of Mormon indicates that Native Americans are descended from people from the Middle East, specifically the Nephites, as translated and published by Joseph Smith, Jr.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer to the student's question is that the Book of Mormon states that Native Americans were descended from people from the Middle East. Specifically, the Book of Mormon describes the journey of Hebrews, known as Nephites, who traveled to the Americas around 500 BCE, and it suggests that Native Americans are their descendants. Joseph Smith, Jr., the founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, translated this text from golden plates revealed to him by an angel named Moroni. The religion also endorses the belief in the imminent Second Coming of Jesus. The Latter-Day Saints, under the leadership of Brigham Young after the death of Joseph Smith, migrated westward, establishing their community in what is now Utah.
