In contrast to the Nephites, Lamanites, Jaredites, and others, the word "Mulekite" does not appear in the text of the Book of Mormon. One should exercise caution in creating a named people when they are not mentioned as such. Sorenson discusses this in Ancient American Setting for the Book of Mormon.

I searched, and you are correct; the word "Mulekite" is never used in the text of the Book of Mormon. It is, however, used in the chapter summaries. I will make this correction (and some others) in the article. Val42 01:10, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
