Elena PassarelloHOST
And then there are also these werewolves.
Elena PassarelloHOST
And the werewolves are in the novels and in the movies connected with this indigenous community, the Quileute, who are actually a real indigenous people that live off the coast of Washington state.
Elena PassarelloHOST
And they were kind of represented in this really kind of ham-fisted way in the books.
Elena PassarelloHOST
There was not a lot of legitimate research done into the practices of this very venerable community.
Elena PassarelloHOST
So the Quileute tribe, 400 members of that tribe, live in a community called La Push, Washington, which is right on the Quileute River, which is a tidal river.
Elena PassarelloHOST
And it is now super duper in the tsunami zone.
Elena PassarelloHOST
And so they started this thing called the Move to Higher Ground Project.
Elena PassarelloHOST
This one author is raffling off a character name in her next vampire novel.
EricaHOST
Eight tribal nations have formal relationship with Olympic National Park today.
EricaHOST
The Ho, the Quileute, the Quinault, the Makah, the Lower Elwha Sklalom, the Jamestown Sklalom, the Port Gamble Sklalom, and the Skokomish.
EricaHOST
They didn't used to live here.
EricaHOST
They still live here.
MTHOST
The car we see in the movie is about a decade newer than Bella's car in the original source material, as Stephenie Meyer would describe that car as a 1953 Chevy pickup truck with faded orange paint.
MTHOST
Played by actor Gil Birmingham, Billy Black is part of the Quileute tribe of Native Americans, a tribe that has a deep cultural and spiritual connection to wolves that predates the Twilight series by centuries.
MTHOST
According to the legend, a benevolent supernatural figure called Qwaadi, or the Transformer, traveled the world, shaping lands, animals, and people to make things better and establish proper ways of living.
MTHOST
And Qwaadi would eventually arrive in the area near La Push, Washington and find no human people there, only a pair of timber wolves.
MTHOST
And seeing this emptiness, he then decides to create the Quileute people by transforming those two wolves into the first humans.
MTHOST
And after speaking words to change them into men and women, he then instructs them how to both be strong and moral people, leading to the formation of many of the guidelines that the Quileute people adhere to to this day.
MTHOST
But yeah, this myth establishes the Quileute as descendants of wolves, explaining their deep spiritual kinship with wolves and why wolf imagery appears prominently in Quileute art, masks, dances, and ceremonies.
MTHOST
And alongside Billy Black is his son Jacob, played by a 16-year-old Taylor Lautner.
SelmaHOST
Edward's confused.
SelmaHOST
And Bella says his dad is one of the Quileute elders.
SelmaHOST
And Edward kind of gets where she's going.
SelmaHOST
Because
6 MINS LATER
EveHOST
It completely turns Bella into a victim, dehumanizes her, turns her into an object for Edward to control, etc., etc.
EveHOST
Yeah.
EveHOST
It feels like she'll have these moments where she wants to, like... make the Quileute tribe like a group of like heroes, right? Like they are, she's not portraying them as bad guys.
EveHOST
Is she portraying them as the good guys yet? I don't think so.
CarolHOST
And have a great day.
CarolHOST
The Mouthy Marmots Collective acknowledges that the lands we broadcast from are the appropriated homelands of six tribal nations who continue to care for this region today, including the Ho, Jamestown Sclalom, Lower Elwha Clom, Makah, Quileute, and Kenult tribes.
CarolHOST
Thank you.
CarolHOST
Thank you.
BugHOST
It's animated? It's animated, which I want to be excited about, but I'm not because I've seen some what it might look like.
BugHOST
And also, I don't think Stephanie Meyer should be touching anything to do with Twilight unless she's giving the Quileute tribe all of the money.
BugHOST
She has so much to apologize for.
BugHOST
They have started casting.
MossHOST
I can only presume that it's going to look like SpongeBob.
BugHOST
I honestly I mean, like, I'm happy to be wrong, but it would I don't think this can't be good enough.
BugHOST
To erase the damage that has been done to Native people and specifically the Quileute tribe, I cannot, like, I can't say that enough.
BugHOST
This series has been so damaging to the identity of this people and their culture has been so appropriated.
SteveHOST
I said that they did a terrible job of introducing the people.
SteveHOST
The dude just showing up and saying, "I'm Quileute Tara." It's like [laughs] that, that's your version of introducing Team Jacob?
AndyHOST
[laughs]
SteveHOST
Jesus.
1 HR 15 MINS LATER
AndyHOST
[laughs]
KitHOST
Yeah, he'll be neutered for sure.
KitHOST
But Jacob's, like, about to kiss her again, and he speaks Quileute.
AndyHOST
Oh, this time it's gonna happen.
KaylaHOST
Yeah.
KaylaHOST
And then the whole, like, a whole ass chapter dedicated to the Quileute legends.
KaylaHOST
Like, their origin stories, basically, of how they became, you know, shapeshifters and their first encounters with vampires and much like Stephanie Meyer I didn't bother to do any research so I don't know if like any of these are taken from actual um Quileute legends from like the actual tribe or if she is just making them up and putting it in their mouths but yeah the whole thing was just it was just icky I mean but I was also torn because like this is kind of like interesting I love backstory.
KaylaHOST
I love world building.
KaylaHOST
And so even though, again, she's not a great writer, I was like, this is interesting.
KaylaHOST
Oh, yeah.
KaylaHOST
No, we'll get to her.
KaylaHOST
But since we're talking about the Quileutes.
Aiden ThornburyHOST
It would seem.
Aiden ThornburyHOST
Vampire from Pluto for five bucks says, the Twilight author used a real tribe, the Quileute? Yeah.
SophieUNKNOWN
Quileute
Aiden ThornburyHOST
for her fictional story where they were all werewolves.
Aiden ThornburyHOST
The tribe hates it.
Aiden ThornburyHOST
We should ask that tribe.
Aidan MattisHOST
I mean, that could be a fun video.
Aidan MattisHOST
What's that? Like everything Stephanie Meyer got wrong about the Quileute tribe.
KitHOST
...
KitHOST
the Quileutes show up and, uh, you know, they're like, "Oh, her date bailed." And, "Who's that?" "Edward Cullen." "Oh, the Cullens don't come here."
AndyHOST
[laughs] Yeah, he's a freak.
AndyHOST
You got that right.
AndyHOST
[laughs]
KitHOST
[laughs] Um, but yeah.
KitHOST
He's like, you know, the Quileutes are supposedly descended from wolves, and the Cullens are, like, an enemy clan, and there's supposed to be this treaty that they don't come on the reservation and we won't tell everybody what they really are.
KitHOST
It's just a story, though.
