==[[File:PanAmer.png]] Limited Geography Model==
A common criticism of Mormonism is the lack of archaeological, ethnic, linguistic, and geographic proof of the millions of Lamanites, Nephites, Jaredites, and Mulekites that settled in The Americas from Israel. Mormon scholars have proposed The 'Limited Geography Model' which claims The Israeli-Native American Tribes settled in Messo-America, at a much smaller scale than what the original Book of Mormon claims. Mormon scholars have cited [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic%20drift Genetic drift] as a counterargument to the claim of no ethnic or genetic proof for The Book of Mormon's claims. As for archaeology, Mormons have argued that dismissing The Book of Mormon's authenticity for The lack of Historical accuracy is short-sighted, as archaeology is constantly expanding and undercovering new treasures.
The teachings of The Tribes have changed over time, originally Mormons believed all Native Americans were descended from Israelites and still had strong cultural connections to Israel and Judaism. Modern Mormonism teaches Israelites were ''among'' The ancestors of Native Americans, and Israelite influence on Native Americans is lost to time.
