Dr Simon G. Southerton was an Australian plant geneticist and co-founder of Gondwana Genomics, an Australian technology firm specializing in Marker-assisted selection for tree breeding. In 2004, Dr. Southerton published a book titled "Losing a Lost Tribe: Native Americans, DNA, and the Mormon Church." The book used genetic evidence to examine the historical accuracy of the Book of Mormon and related claims about the Lamanite people. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Southerton] Southerton then went on an extensive book signing/speaking tour of the United States.
Shortly after his speaking tour, Sutherton began to be criticized by fellow scientists, for his methods;

It is a fairly exhaustive list...
The short version is that there were questions about which tribes they chose to test, they seemed to favor Athabaskan speaking tribes

Although it occurs only at a frequency of about 3% for the total current indigenous population of the Americas, it is a bigger haplogroup in northern North America, among the Algonquian peoples

David Reed - DNA and the Book of Mormon, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin September 20, 2024 => Haplogroups X & R...
The part that Southerton/most "no DNA evidence" proponents fail to include is Haplogroup X (mtDNA)
The greatest frequency of haplogroup X is observed in the Druze, a minority population in Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, and... oddly, in the Great Lakes area of North America.
Although I personally like the Haplogroup X/Hopewell correlation, I tend to drift toward a skeptical view of DNA results & radio carbon dating... I have lived long enough to have seen both give VERY sketchy results...

With more than 574 Native American Tribes, most "gentiles" don't bother to distinguish between them, but, to an Indian, there is as much difference as between an African and a Mexican.
Uto-Azteccan tribes (Hopi, Tewa, Utes, Pueblo tribes...) tell of the ancient times, when the invading Athabaskan tribes (Navajo) came from the north with attack dogs and waged a decades long war. The word "Anasazi" is actually a Navajo word meaning "Ancient Enemy"...

But a seer will I raise up out of the fruit of thy loins; and unto him will I give power to bring forth my word unto the seed of thy loins—and not to the bringing forth my word only, saith the Lord, but to the convincing them of my word, which shall have already gone forth among them.Wherefore, the fruit of thy loins shall write; and the fruit of the loins of Judah shall write; and that which shall be written by the fruit of thy loins, and also that which shall be written by the fruit of the loins of Judah, shall grow together, unto the confounding of false doctrines and laying down of contentions,

He discusses how dogmatism in archaeology has covered up 130,000 years of human history in the Americas, which challenges colonial narratives of uncivilised natives incapable of high culture.
