The Book of Mormon was at the heart of the early Mormon views of the Indians. This view directly affected how Mormons thought and what they did. The early Mormon focus on the Indians was central in many respects to several events in Mormon history. Mormons "saw the Indian as an indispensable ally in the last-day drama that promised to cleanse the landscape and bring a new era." Using the Book of Mormon as their guide and handbook, early Church members understood the need of taking the gospel to the Native Americans. The publicizing of LDS views about the role of the Indians in the winding-up days and about some of the early efforts to take the gospel to the Indian people helps us to understand the intensity of early anti-Mormonism. The Mormon view of the Indian also helps illuminate the millennial spirit of early Mormonism and offers additional insight into Mormon interest in the West. In this regard, the Book of Mormon was central in affecting the thought and actions of early Mormons.
