"This chapter first considers the founding of the Mormon religion, early Mormon attitudes toward Native North Americans, and the roots of Mormon removal. It briefly addresses the origins of Indian removal and compares key tropes and images in both episodes that demonstrate their apparent resonance. The essay considers Mormon attitudes toward Native people and their forced emigration, and highlights the important differences between Indian removal and Mormon removal. These differences-- and their consequences-- are reducible to one key, and perhaps quite obvious, point : Mormons were not forced from ancestral homelands, but rather embarked on (and celebrated) their migration to a new homeland. Moreover, the "zionward" jounerys of Mormon pioneers required both the ideological and physical displacement of indigienous peoples. The essay concludes with a discussion of why Indian removal and subsequent federal policies toward Native people do not fit within the concept of a "Greater Reconstruction," despite its utility within other analyses in this volume."
