Dear Gina Colvin,
the reason I am writing this letter to you is because after reading your articles in http://www.patheos.com/blogs/kiwimormon/about/ I felt you maybe able to point me in the right direction regarding the book I am writing called Maori Mormons in Australia.
This is a video of me speaking in a conference held for the Lamanite Generation and why the LDS church leadership supports the DNA results as being true. In this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYzvjLugbCk
I skim over the surface of the issues surrounding the rejection of the LDS church to give welfare to low income indigenous members of the church.
please respond I have a few question to ask you
best regards
John Daniels
