Where are the 10 Tribes of Israel?

- Questions and Answers
I had always thought the 10 lost tribes of Israel were lost because they were scattered throughout the world. But, I have had some people tell me that the lost tribes are still together as a people, just lost to our knowledge. I love the scriptures in D&C 133:26-34 which talk about the return of the 10 tribes. My questions are: 1) Where are the lost tribes? 2) Is there a group that has been lead somewhere that we somehow do not know of (like lehi's family was led away and hidden from the world)? How literally can those scriptures in D&C be taken?
