An Indian Interpreter of Six Tribes Embraces the Book of Mormon and Foretells His Brethren Will Receive It (1840)

An Indian man, his wife, and daughter traveled hundreds of miles to Commerce, Illinois, to learn about the work of the Church. They embraced the message and testified that every word of the Book of Mormon was true. The man, who served as an interpreter for six tribes, expressed his knowledge that every member of his tribes would eventually receive the record.

Fuller account of this event (the complete account as preserved in The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 1, No. 4 (August 1840), p. 96):

An Indian man, his wife, and daughter, have traveled some hundreds of miles to this place, to learn the work of the Lord. They have embraced the truth, and testify that every word of the Book of Mormon is true. The man is an interpreter for six tribes, and he says that every one of his tribes will receive the work.
