More from TwilightPoison, MSN apologized to real Quileute tribe. Check it out! -Liana- (via @TwilightPoison)


According to The Peninsula News, MSN.com is set to formally apologize to the real Quileute tribe in Washington for shooting a video in sacred Quileute areas for Stephenie Meyer’s day back in September. The video shot a Tribal Council building, totem poles, First Beach, the Senior Center and the Quileute Cemetery without previous authorization or approval from the tribal council. As if this offense wasn’t enough, they repeatedly zoomed in and out on a grave of a Quileute tribal chief, with dark and “macabre” music playing in the background, which the Quileute tribe considered a serious lack of respect.
“This situation has caused an enormous amount of pain and suffering to the Quileute Nation as a whole, but especially to the descendants of the Quileute chief,” she said.
“An apology will never erase that hurt.
“Besides heartbreak, I was in shock and perplexed that an organization that presents itself as culturally sensitive and aware to indigenous people’s plights all over the world could make such an egregious choice in their own backyards.”
