“[Native American] Indians are people, and the longer I serve with them the more I realize that they respond to the same teaching and kindness and love as others do. They have the same emotions. Some can be godless, but most of them are religious … At last the Indians are suitable.”

Spencer W. Kimball – 7 October 1960, General Conference Report (Salt Lake City, UT: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1960), 33-34.
