I’m half Native I am of Mexicatl (Aztec) Apache and Chichimeca decent I have heard Jewish people try and say that ALL Native Peoples of the Americas are from the ten lost tribes Aparently native Mexican’s are from the Issachar to be perfectly honest ithink this is all BS i know NOTHING of this and i know ALOT about my peoples history and culture not once have i heard of such rediculous claims not by MY people anyway. There’s nothing worse than some ignorant fool trying to tell me what MY peoples history and culture is and where we are from i think i know more about MY own people. Where is all this comming from? if anyone has Logical explanations i would love to hear them and some factual proof might be nice.
I am Cherokee. We were never taught that we are from Israel. It has been passed down however, the visitation to us by Jesus Christ. I think Joseph Smith must have come up with the idea that we then need to be Jewish. The Azetecs also were expecting a White God to come by ship across the ocean when Cortes showed up. Their history told of a white skinned man who had come by ship and helped them develop skills like astronomy, before leaving on a ship and promising to come back. There was definitely ocean travel going on by that time. But our stories of Jesus are identical to those told by the Mormons, so my guess is they took this and added to it. I’d also like to point out that DNA testing has proven that we are not connected to the Melungeons either. There is some evidence we may come from Asia, following land connections that no longer exist while fishing.
