Looking at the Quiluete legends

Posted on 30. Apr, 2009 by in News

Suite 101 just posted an article analyzing the accuracy of the Quiluete legends in the Twilight series.

The new vampire movie Twilight has generated interest in the Quileute tribe. But how much about the vampire and werewolf legends is fact and how much is fiction?

In addition to recapping the details of the connection between Stephenie Meyer’s werewolves and a real Quileute myth – the article reviews the Quiluete customs, spiritual beliefs, hunting practices, and how they make their livelihood.

(And can I say as an aside how much I love the new attention being paid to the pack? It makes me very happy.)

    One of the things I loved about Stephenie’s writing is the thought and research behind it, and how she is able to weave everything into her books. I am interested in Native American legends, so I found this particularly fascinating.
