The Mulekites came to America from Jerusalem in 586 B.C. They were led by the last living son of Zedekiah, Mulek.

Close readers of the Book of Mormon know it does not contain the term "Mulekites," though we know people use the word for the people of Zarahemla before the Nephites move in and take over.

The LDS believe that the various Indian tribes in North America are the actual descendants of the Lamanites.

...Unless they were reading Nibley in the 1980s. And Nephites/Lamanites were of the tribe of Manassah, for what it's worth.


Ephraim's the birthright tribe. That has something to do with so many being of Ephraim/adopted into Ephraim.
