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.”
