I have often wondered why Native people would be Mormons. Primarily because the Mormons do virtually nothing to help them. Why is it?

when did they stop condemning them as evil and saying their skin coloration was a curse from God?--see, the whole "chosen people" thing is because they say that native americans started out as Jews, because both live in tribes, but after murdering another tribe of Jews, God stained their skin red with the blood of the murdered tribe--Mormons are racist as all hell, and always have been

Have you ever seen a Native American prophet? All the prophets, like the presidents of our country are white. The Book of Mormon states that the Lamanites became "White and Delightsome" the more rightous they were. Infering that their sin was somehow tied to their skin color. People of any color could not even enter the temples until the 60's I beleive.
I too am always amazed to see anyone of any color sitting in a Mormon church,
for one, it boooooring
two, its bold faced racist. there are doctrines about race mixing, Brig young says the blacks will be servants in heaven, denied access to the temples.
three, they're just plain out selfish. Building expensive temples in third world countries, then asking people to pay tithing to enter. So basically charging admission. Then they do little to nothing to see to their basic needs.
The Church is whacked, stay far away, warn everyone you know.

Everyone who is a Christian, is God's chosen people, by virtue of the promise through Abraham and his son Isaac. We are "grafted into the vine". Paul said it doesn't matter if we are circumcised or uncircumcised. No single race or group of people are any longer "God's Chosen People". All that changed when Christ came.

Because apparenty they believe the Native Americans are slightly less chosen than the Mormons themselves.

Unfortunately, there is too much racism in Utah. But, the church has tried to help them. Unfortunately, it probably wasn't the right kind of help.

Mormons are a white supremist cult.
They believe blacks exist on earth as punishment for not deciding on which side to be on when Satan and Jesus warred about earth, and that is why they are slaves.

They were talking about themselves, not the real natives.
