Thomas Murphy (Iroquois) provides a compelling argument for the decolonization of the Book of Mormon. His argument is that if the Book of Mormon is indeed an artifact once belonging to an ancient American Indian people, then it ought to be returned to American Indians. Murphy provides point-by-point directives on how, in material ways, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints needs to deconstruct Lamanite identity, reconsider its truth claims, and move Indigenous voices to the center.
