   I suspect that this is not a joke at all. The Mormon church has long used the ‘lammanite’/lost tribe theory to justify a truly perverse relationship to indian people. particularly it was the justification for ‘voluntary’ removal of indian children to mormon boarding and schooling which cut them off from families and traditional navajo beliefs and culture. the federal indian child welfare act of 1978 was an attempt to stop this practice and those of other state and private agencies. It did a lot of good but my Oklahoma experience leads me to guess that the Mormons have found ways to avoid this law and its teachings

   and this could well be the year when a slick mormon slips into the presidential loafers because traditional american racism/sexism refuses to back whomever the democrats nominate

   I thought I’d comment to remark that this cartoon is far from accurate. It was created by an anti-Mormon group in the early 80s and its falsehoods have been debunked time and time again.

   For example, in March 1984, the Board of the National Conference of Christians and Jews repudiated the film, saying “The film does not—in our opinion—fairly portray the Mormon Church, Mormon history, or Mormon belief.”
