Re: the Mormon Church's view:

"Church leaders, including Mr. Kimball, have said the curse of dark skin would be lifted from Indians who embraced the Mormon religion. In 1960, before he was elevated to the presidency, Mr. Kimball said in a speech that Indian children living with Mormons had lighter skin than those who remained on reservations. The church has a program of temporarily placing Indian children with Mormon families so the youngsters can attend non-Indian public schools. ---- Leader in Serious Condition"

They stated that the Indians could become 'white and delightsome'.
