They may be another reason. Many Mormons think that they are part of the “Lost Tribe of Israel”.One of their main Articles of Faith written by Joseph Smith Jr. is as follows: “We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.” (LDS Articles of Faith #10)

Hey guys, can you add some context to this point?

Such as the Mormons also believed the lost tribe settled in America and the DNA results of native Americans disproving this point?

How about some of the other falsehoods concerning the "tribes" of mormonism?
