“The Lamanites [offensive LDS term for Native Americans], now a down-trodden people, are a remnant of the house of Israel. The curse of God has followed them as it has done the Jews, though the Jews have not been darkened in their skin as have the Lamanites.”

Wilford Woodruff – 12 June 1881, Journal of Discourses – Volume 22 (Liverpool, England: Albert Carrington, 1882), 173.
