1844 - The Prophet Joseph spent much of the afternoon with the Sac and Fox Native Americans who were visiting the city of Nauvoo. They told the Prophet about how they had been robbed of their land by the Spanish, French, English, and now the Americans and how they had been cruelly treated. The Prophet in turn told them that he “knew they had been wronged” and “advised them not to sell any more land, but to cultivate peace with the different tribes and with all men, as the Great Spirit wanted them to be united and to live in peace.” He then told them about the Book of Mormon. The Indians performed music and dancing for “about two hours” and “the Saints took up a collection to get the Indians food” (History of the Church, 6:402).
