If the Book of Mormon really was preserved for Amerindians..

why would God restore it though pale face white men who were slaughtering them?

Ahh but you say those savages were not capable of receiving revelation or producing sacred text. Not so mon amie. More than a half century before Joseph Smith claimed to see visions and pretended to create a sacred text we have …

Neolin [who] led a religious revival among the Native Americans in that region. [Delaware] Beginning in 1761, Neolin began receiving revelations from the “Master of Life,” who implored the Indians to undertake their own restorationist project: to reject the trappings of European culture, including western dress, food, firearms, alcohol and Christianity, and to return to the traditions of their forefathers of hunting, fishing, and worshiping the Master of Life. Neolin even implored the Indians to refuse to shake hands with whites, and when greeting each other to extend the left hand instead of the right as was the white custom. The left hand, after all, “is nearest to the heart,” Neolin explained. Neolin also created his own sacred scripture, which missionary observers dubbed “the Great Book of Writing.” But this “book” was not a book that could be read like the Book of Mormon, another supposed Native American prophetic scripture. Instead it was a map of Neolin’s cosmology sketched out on deerskin, which charted a path by which faithful Indians could retake their lands as well as find salvation in the life to come. As did the Book of Mormon, the Master of Life explained to the Indians that America was, by divine right, the land of their inheritance. “The land on which you are,” the Master of Life revealed through Neolin, “I have made for you, not for others.
