Article going over two different approaches to the question of whether Polynesians can be connected to the Hagoth story from the Book of Mormon. Carbon-dating and archaeology are not especially useful, because we have no way of knowing what to expect from the Hagoth group. The majority of the paper discusses Polynesian oral traditions. It concludes that they carry interesting parallels, but their antiquity is suspect.
