It's not been proven that modern Native Americans have no Israelite blood.

On the other hand, there is absolutely not a shred of evidence that they have any Israelite blood.

In other words, the sum archaeological and genetic evidence do not provide much support for the Book of Mormon as history. The evidence, as it were, for the historicity of the BoM is in the margins.

The church really could use some good news on this front, just to keep in the game.
