There is a turtle boat legend of the Ojibway people from 900 to 1400 AD time frame. They lived on the east coast of the United States, north of the St Lawrence seaway. In other words they already lived on the Atlantic Ocean shore of North America. This is after the defeat of the Nephites in 400 AD. This group of Lamanites may have remained around Cumorah after the battle 0r traveled north and settled north above the St Lawrence. This turtle boat legend describes their journey while still in North America going on their boats further west to the Great Lakes and settling near Wisconsin as their final resting place. This legend sometimes gets misunderstood by people today. Some think that there were 8 turtle boats so that has to be something to do with the Jaredites. That is wrong as the Jaredites were in America in 2200 BC. Could this legend really be the Mulekites who came by way of the St Lawrence in about 586 BC? I don’t think so. In Omni 1:16 it says, “And they (Mulekites) journeyed in the wilderness, and were brought by the hand of the Lord across the great waters, into the land where Mosiah discovered them; and they had dwelt there from that time forth.” Where did Mosiah discover these Mulekites? Near Zarahemla which we know is near Montrose, Iowa today. See D&C 125. https://bookofmormonevidence.org/ojibway-turtle-boat-legend/
