"This essay will give an overview of the impact of images and performed visual representations related to both members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Indigenous peoples. The first section deals with selected Book of Mormon paintings well-known in Latter-day Saint circles appearing in manuals; taught in homes, in Sunday School and primaries, and in seminaries for young adults; and used as recruitment tools in Latter-day Saint mission work. The second section analyzes and navigates the complicated nature of Latter-day Saint members reenacting what they consider a historical play in red-face costume and portraying unrealistic and fictional representations of Indigenous peoples of the Americas in the Hill Cumorah Pageant in Palmyra, New York, and the Miracle Pageant in Manti, Utah, throughout the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries."
