Ether 13
This New Jerusalem may not be named “New Jerusalem” but it will definitely be known as a holy city. In fact, it could be said that Salt Lake City is (or could be) a holy city. I don’t know that we are told that New Jerusalem is in Missouri, only that it is the land of Zion. There is no reason that we cannot have Zion and New Jerusalem as two special religious places. If it is built up unto the remnant of the seed of Joseph I wonder if it will be built in large measure by Native Americans? Certainly they are not the only seed of Joseph, but they are the most visible group.

I think I have noticed before that Coriantumr does not participate in secret combinations which is probably why he was given an opportunity to repent and retain his kingdom. He is a man of the world who wanted stability but could not embrace the truth until it was too late.
