Not exactly. Some members of one tribe came to America and may be ancestors of some Native Americans.
What do the native Americans say?
The true Pahana is the "Lost White Brother" of the Hopi. Pahana or Elder Brother left for the east at the time that the Hopi entered the Fourth World and began their migrations. However, the Hopi say that he will return again and at his coming the wicked will be destroyed and a new age of peace will be ushered into the world. It is said he will bring with him a missing section of a sacred Hopi stone in the possession of the Fire Clan, and that he will come wearing red. Traditionally, Hopis are buried facing eastward in expectation of the Pahana who will come from that direction

Its in simple terms that maximum folk of surviving Natives are descended from that team, even with the incontrovertible fact that not all. So who cares if Joseph Smith believed it, many non-contributors did additionally. It did make it less complicated for the contributors of the Church as they weren't as Indian loopy as a results of fact the individuals have been and had extra effective relatives with the Indians. there have been some incidents, yet not as many as non-contributors had.
