An ancient and proud people with a rich and varied mythological history, who were turned into convenient exotic plot points for Stephenie Meyer's travesty. The Quileute people in her books are described as bestial, and worse, poor. Their legends are replaced with babbling pap that is about as true to the Quileute as the snarling old gypsy in 'The Wolf Man' is to actual Roma. Of course, Stephenie Meyer does not care that fictionalizing an actual race of people into pedowolves, or turning them into stereotypes may be considered insulting. After all, it is a book. A FICTIONAL book.
