	Lamanite Conversion Prototype -- A Mighty Change
		No other event in Lamanite history prior to the Savior's visit was more pronounced, and no other event so completely fits the description of their being baptized as an assembly with fire and with the Holy Ghost.
		The trembling Lamanites were instructed to cry unto the voice of him who had shaken the earth, until they had faith in Christ.
		5:50.) Many of these Lamanites came among the Nephites to declare "the manner of their conversion," preaching "with exceedingly great power and authority, unto the bringing down many of them into the depths of humility, to be the humble followers of God and the Lamb." (Hel.

		After the Nephites were overrun by a Lamanite army led by Nephite dissidents in 35 B.C. and failed to regain lost territories (4:5-10), Nephi and Lehi went among the Lamanites to preach the gospel (5:16-20).

	The Lamanite View of Book of Mormon History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Traveling in the wilderness toward Lamanite lands, the missionaries prepared themselves by much fasting and prayer, beseeching the Lord to enable them to bring the Lamanites "to the knowledge of the truth, to the knowledge of the baseness of the traditions of their fathers, which were not correct" (Alma 17:9).
		Lamanites were converted to Christ, they gave up the tradition of their fathers, the spirit softened their hearts, and they "opened a correspondence with [their] brethren, the Nephites" (Alma 24:8).
		Lamanite history would be a bitter story, of a people obsessed with a perpetual sense of deprivation, wronged at the beginning, so they thought, and wronged ever after, living for vengeance, with blood on their swords.

		When the target Lamanites heard his voice, they needed to be able to recognize it as truly “Lamanite,” rather than whatever audible clue they would have had that the party was actually Nephite.
		The Lamanite warriors may have had a similar practice, and it was to that practice that the spy was referring.
		When the Lamanites awakened in at least somewhat greater control of their faculties, they are able to recognize their situation, and the situation is resolved without bloodshed.

	Wikinfo \| Lamanite
		The Lamanites, together with the Nephites, are described as descending from the family of Lehi, a wealthy Jewish merchant, who traveled from the Middle East in 600 BC to the Americas by boat.
		At one point in the book the Lamanites and Nephites coexist for two centuries in peace (from about 30 AD to 230 AD) Shortly after this period of peace and cooperation between the two begins to decline along with a reestablishment of economic class distinction in both groups.
		For this and other reasons, a few Mormon scholars view Lamanites as (1) one small tribe among many in the ancient Americas, the remainder of whom were not discussed in The Book of Mormon, (2) a tribe that intermarried with indigenous Native American cultures, or (3) fictional characters.

	El Libro de Mormon ante la crítica - FARMS Review
		Two verses later he states, "Behold, the Lamanites your brethren, whom ye hate because of their filthiness and the cursing which hath come upon their skins, are more righteous than you; for they have not forgotten the commandment of the Lord, which was given unto our father" (Jacob 3:5).
		The curse of the Lamanites in the Book of Mormon has to do with the oft-repeated phrase "the traditions of the fathers." When the Lamanites were able to overcome the power of these traditions and were converted to the gospel they became much stronger in the faith than the Nephites.
		The second approach is to educate both Lamanites and gentiles as to the historical and current meanings of the term Lamanite, and that the term should no longer be seen as a pejorative but that it is to be associated with promised blessings from the Lord.

		Apparently some Lamanites proved apt learners from this source; moreover, those converted to the prophetic religion taught by Nephite missionaries are usually described as exemplary (Alma 23:5-7; 56; Hel.
		They were better armed than common Lamanites (Alma 43:20) and, like some Zoramites, were made military leaders within the Lamanite army because of their "more wicked and murderous disposition" (Alma 43:6).
		Some years later, desiring to assist the Nephite armies in defending the land but not wishing to break their covenant (Alma 53:13), the people of Ammon sent 2,000 of their willing sons to be soldiers, since their sons had not taken the covenant of nonviolence that they had.

		Therefore the Lamanites did spare their lives, and took them captives and carried them back to the land of Nephi, and granted unto them that they might possess the land, under the conditions that they would deliver up king Noah into the hands of the Lamanites, and deliver up their property, even
		And it came to pass that when the Lamanites found that their daughters had been missing, they were angry with the people of Limhi, for they thought it was the people of Limhi.
		Now the Lamanites had taken many women and children, and there was not a woman nor a child among all the prisoners of Moroni, or the prisoners whom Moroni had taken; therefore Moroni resolved upon a stratagem to obtain as many prisoners of the Nephites from the Lamanites as it were possible.

		Knowing that many of the Lamanites would have hardened hearts and be happy to fulfill the queen's request, Aaron took the king by the hand and raised him from his unconcious state.

		At the very moment of the Lamanite Missionaries' arrival in western Missouri, the United States Government was deeply involved in the process of gathering Native American Indian tribes for resettlement to the west across the Missouri border in the territory that would one day become Kansas.
		The timing of the missionary team, in regard to being at the right place at the right time, to take their message to these particular Indian tribes, was nearly perfect.
		The Lamanite Missionaries had obviously either been ignorant or had chosen to ignore the federal laws regulating commerce and communication with the Indians.

	Lamanites No More:DNA, Book of Mormon, Lost Ties to Father Lehi
		The redemption of the Lamanite as a remnant of scattered Israel, in accordance with Book of Mormon prophecy, is one of the vital responsibilities and opportunities of the restored church (“What Is a Lamanite?” Ensign, Sept. 1972, p.
		As the gospel is taught in various nations of the Americas and on the Pacific islands, missionary programs for Lamanite and mestizo segments of the population might well be adapted to the language and the ethnic position of the descendants of Father Lehi in each nation.
		The introduction to the Book of Mormon states that the Lamanites were the “principal ancestors of the American Indians,” but this, again, is commentary not present in the original text and was based on the best knowledge of the time.

		This restricted access highlights the importance of the series of strategic fortified settlements, including Manti and Cumeni, that are situated in or adjacent to the south wilderness which is a term synonymous for the "Narrow Strip of Wilderness" (see Alma 16:7, 22:31, 31:3, 62:34 for Manti and Alma 57:15-16 for Cumeni).
		Thus, Lamanite attackers fighting within the confined passageway were completely exposed on three different fronts to the Nephite defenders stationed on the walls and blocking access within the corridor.
		The text, in reference to the warfare at Noah, describes this situation and states that although the Lamanites were able to inflect grievous wounds on the unprotected lower legs of the Nephite defenders, the attacking force was systematically cut to pieces (see Alma 49:23-25).

	War and Delivery II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		And then there was the Second Lamanite War which Mormon first records in the year 345 AD though it likely began prior to that in the land of Zarahemla and did not reach the land of Jashon until the 345 AD date.
		The First Lamanite War having ended with the defeat of the Lamanite army under King Aaron in 330 AD in Zarahemla in the southland which as stated in the previous section was the First Deliverance of the Nephites provided at the Hand of the Lord's Prophet Mormon.
		Yet their success seems to have carried on back down into the Land of Zarahemla and was enough to bring leverage upon the Lamanites to the extent that a ‘treaty’ was made dividing the land at the narrow neck of land.

	Book of Mormon Lands - Where?
		The finding of the bones of Zelph, a "white Lamanite," by Joseph Smith in 1834 and the revelation he received about Zelph also speaks to the location of Book of Mormon lands.
		On the top of the mound were stones which presented the appearance of three altars having been erected one above the other, according to the ancient order; and the remains of bones were strewn over the surface of the ground.
		It was made known to Joseph that he had been an officer who fell in battle in the last destruction among the Lamanites, and his name was Zelph.

		And Onandagus spake saying that many Lamanites do join their brethren in battle, but yea, Onandagus's people are peace loving Lamanites, even are they from the Korihorite branch of Lamanites, and participate not in any war, and are neutral in the great war, and takest no side.

	Zelph - The White Lamanite Warrior
		In the light of revelation it is absurd for anyone to maintain that the Nephites and Lamanites did not possess this northern land.
		The curse was taken from Zelph, or at least, in part—one of his thigh bones was broken by a stone flung from a sling, while in battle, years before his death.
		In the Book of Mormon story the Lamanites were constantly crowding the Nephites back towards the north and east.

		The social and historical variability of the meanings of the term Lamanite requires careful attention to differences between biology and culture—the type of care that Sorenson and Hamblin have advocated and that is evident in studies of the Lemba, the African tribe with established linkages to ancient Hebrews.
		Quests for Lamanite DNA must overcome the same problems but are hampered by the blanket absence of any ancient historical sources that would substantiate or clarify the cultural classifications made in the BoMor.
		While researchers at FARMS are careful to note the importance of cultural influences on the construction of categories like Lamanite, they do express confidence in an Israelite genetic presence in Central America and perhaps as far away as Arizona and Colombia.

	Does Archaeology Support the Book of Mormon?
		Thus, North and South America were understood to constitute the two bulges of the hourglass, connected by the "narrow neck" of Central America.
		Their conclusions are based on a number of major problems that arise when one attempts to apply Book of Mormon descriptions of travel times and population growth to the vast territories of North and South America.
		For instance, while the Book of Mormon makes it clear that the rival Nephite and Lamanite civilizations were centered near the "narrow neck" of land (understood to be somewhere in Central America), it says that they agreed to meet for their epic final battle at the "hill Cumorah" (Mormon 6:1-6).

		After telling Ammoron how wicked he and the Lamanites are and how righteous the Nephites are (which you can tell Ammoron was happy to hear) Moroni agrees to exchange prisoners on the basis of a man, his wife and their children for one Lamanite.
		Also, maybe the reason the Lamanites would hold the women and children prisoner is because they were trying to bring the Nephites into subjection/slavery.
