I've heard theories that Indians are the lost tribes of Israel. I'm not familiar enough with them to say whether I believe them or not but this post reminded me of that.
Yes, they believe there was a family from another tribe of Israel that had a civilization that eventually wiped itself out in the Americas. They enjoy guessing where it was, and how large they had gotten. The term Mormon comes from the historian that compiler the history of his people and had his son preserve the record before he died. Hence the Book of Mormon. It is believed that Joseph Smith found and translated this book by divine means, and then founded his faith based on what he had learned from it, both the writings and the divine help to translate.
The problem is the period in history that it happened had several civilizations wiped out, and the known origin is a shrug of the shoulder.
There were also several trade groups that were part of the Americas. Hence relatives of potatoes found in New Zealand, and chicken bones found in Chile. It is difficult to prove totally, because the civilizations enjoyed destroying each other. Basically, the general thought is that there have been several groups that have entered the Americas, but no one knows all of them and only have hints at a few.
Top red blob connects to the big yellow White blobs through brown Middle East. Jews aren't specifically shown but should be in either Middle Eastern or White blobs.
Bottom red blob connects to grey No Information blob, which Figure 2b shows is Hispanic aka natives to the Americas. So Hispanics are part Asian and part White, and the White influence is no doubt conquistadors and NA settlers which weren't Jewish (0.05% of US in 1790).
Pretty implausible, that would be a huge ship based migration that would not go unrecorded. the truth is that most were absorbed by Assyria and most of the rest absorbed into Judah.
Though the Lemba are interesting, they are just as easily later refugees from Judah from the Babylonian or Roman invasions. In the book of Acts, there is a person from Ethiopia reading Jewish holy books who converts to Christianity.
Most of the plains Indian tribes were monotheist though, and if they had struck up a religious conversation with a Christian who didn't know much theology, it would have taken them some time to realize they weren't talking about the same thing. The 'Native American Church', famous for rituals involving Peyote, identifies as Christian but I think generally believes they always were.

Isn't that what Mormons believe?

I think it has an element of truth, if only because it’s one of the few sources to acknowledge North American giants:

Israelites and talmudists are not the same.
It might be. I don't remember how where I heard it.
I think I only know that because the creator of Battlestar Galactica was inspired by the Lost Tribe Mormon theory

Figure 2a has two red Asia blobs.

So, not Jewish.
