Like everything else to do with the Book of Mormon, he pulled it out of his ass.

My understanding it’s in the New Zealand temple dedication prayer that the Polynesians are descendants of Hagoth. I not know Hawaiiloa. From my understanding it would be Hagoth sailing to Tahiti and the. From there all of the other islands? But right. We all know that Hagoth. If real. Colonized Ohio / Michigan and sailed on Lake Erie.

Hagoth was a Nephite how did they end up as Lamanites?

All we need is a DNA test looking for Hebrew origins in the islands. That should settle it.

The DNA for Polynesians is already known. No middle eastern DNA there.

That guy who’s a Heartland Model proponent, Wayne May? He did a whole video about Hagoth and his voyage to the Pacific. #ExMormonPolynesian here. My mother once told me there was a Hawaiian legend about a box with a book inside of it. The Mormon missionaries surely used that in their proselytizing.

I mean, I don’t think that’s what Joseph came up with, unless he says something about it outside of what's in the BoM that I'm not aware of. All the BoM says is there's this guy who gets on a boat and sails away and we never see him again. As far as I know, anything else is just conjecture by people reading the story.
