#REDIRECT [[Question: Does the Book of Mormon describe the Lamanites as being "cursed" with a "red skin"?]]

The Book of Mormon describes the Lamanites as "cursed" with a "red skin."

{{main|Lamanite curse}}
 
Fawn Brodie made this claim, but does so without attribution or evidence.  There is no mention of "red skin" in the Book of Mormon.
 
This criticism does raise an interesting problem, however, for the critics—if Joseph Smith was (as they claim) writing a "history of the Indians," why did he never refer to their red skins? This was the common way in which they were described by 19th-century Americans.  Yet, that characterization is completely absent from the Book of Mormon.
