What do you say about the idea that Native Americans are one of the tribes that arrived in the Americas and that there are genetic markers from the Aryan race among us?

The Book of Mormon has been translated into many languages.
Hi friend. I think you may be a little confused. Mormons believe in the Book of Mormon, a book of scripture like the Bible. The Book of Mormon describes a very small group of people who migrated from ancient Israel to the Americas about 2,600 years ago. These people were Semitic, not Aryan. Most Mormon scholars believe that when they came to the Americas, this small group of people encountered large Native-American populations descended from earlier peoples who came to the Americas across the Bering Strait. While it is possible that this small group of Semites may have contributed some few Semitic genetic markers to the resultant mixed population, it is more likely that those markers were lost, since the group of Semitic colonizers was likely small compared to the vast preexistent Native-American population. Hope this helps.
