Do you remember the scene where Bella researched on the Quileute Legends in Twilight? There truly are Quileute Legends. And the information is available on the net. However, the Quileute Legends discussed in the movie are not quite what the legends are in the real life.
So first, are the “Cold Ones” from Twilight a real Quileute Legend? The answer is no. Stephanie Meyer herself stated that she made this legend up for the movie’s plot. But, other parts of her books were based on real Quileute Legends, such as the tribe descending from wolves who were changed into humans. In fact, the tribe’s name itself “Quileute”, came from their word for wolf, Kwoli.
Their mention in the movie Twilight arose curiosity about the legends once again. And, like most legends, the Quileute Myths are very fauna-oriented. For example, they refer to wolves as the origins of Man. The Raven is believed to be the trickster amongst the Quileute, with most of the stories revolving around him.
According to the Quileuete Legends, when these beings roamed the Earth, they were humans bearing the characteristics of the animals descending from them. And amongst the legends, there were four highly distinguished beings. They are Q’wati, the Transformer, Thunderbird, the Raven, and Dask’iya.
The Quileute Folklore presented Q’wati as a sort of God, or Creator, though in the tribe, he was their protector and mentor. It was said that he created the first men by changing two wolves into people, and was even credited with why deers have antlers and beavers have tails. Aside from these, he was also said to have created the Neah people, the Queet, and the Hoh people.
The Basket Ogress, Dask’iya, is a cannibal woman believed to capture children in her basket and carry them home to eat them. The legends about her are most often used to scare children from bad behavior. It would be safe to say that the modern stories about the bag lady originated from this particular Quileute folklore.
The Thunderbird as described by the Quileute, is a bird large enough to carry a whale in its claws. It was said that he rescued the Quileutes from starvation by bringing them the whale to feed on. As the legend goes, the Chief prayed to the Great Spirit for assistance, and they believe that the Thunderbird was the manifestation of this prayer. They regard the Thuderbird with respect as the it was their savior in the time they were starving.
The Raven, as mentioned is the trickster in the legends. But it was through his mistakes that he learned. As described, he was lazy, arrogant, deceitful, and generally behaves badly. In one legend, he deceived his wife so that he can eat all the food that was given to them. These tales gave way to the modern tales used to let children know what is right and wrong.
All in all, the Quileute Legends mostly refer to the beings who taught, protected, or saved them. But the Quileute Myths are most admirable due to the power felt in the tales.
how to become the cold one??
and why they don’t have thier legend in the website
Really, how to become a cold one?
you get bit by one der
If there is real ‘vampires’ out there then why don’t we met any.? why don’t they tell ppl who they are.?
because, carebear22, humans would kill us as we are seen as horriable blood sucking vampires that kill humans. but some are vegies i am, and we are inecent.and if we have a legend, ezad46, some people would believe.
dont tell
Actually bella10798 we dont have our legends on this site cause our kind and theirs are common enemies and if we had our legend on here all hell will break lose
I orginally placed this post in another location as well so please read as a repost.
I wish to intercede, you are living in works of fiction. I happen to have friends that are part of the Quileute Nation, whilst they appreciate the interest in their culture, legends, and ways of life, you are dangerously close to being disrespectful. I myself am a Native American of the Hopi Nation, such antics by you so called werewolves, and vampires are preposterous. Mainly someone who has lived for so long would have a decent command of the english language and its spelling. Please do not embarrass yourself further by continuing this facade of immortality in your posts. I say this because I care and delusional minds worry me. I have been a U.S. Marine for 15 years as well, so don’t take this the wrong way, I could put your thoughts of immortality to the test if desired. Good night and God bless, By the way, the Twilight saga is a good read.
hang on hang on hang on ! your sayin that you are a vampire bella10798 ???? you can’t be surley ……. not tht i dont believe in them but really ???? coz if you are you can come here right now and turn me into one !!!! i mean it !!! rach x
hay rach vampires r real i am 1 if u want 2 bcum 1 tell me where u live n ill cum n bite u
robert pattenson is only cute as edward cullen
TY blevinsga, I think these people are incapable of appreciating the life and time they have in this world that this illusion of immortality is but a cry for the lack or there of any humanity in their souls. Wake up ppl don’t let yourself be pulled or led astray by vulchers that prey on the minds of confused and naieve minds like yourself. Please beware of the lies being told by creative writers and wannabees.
u guys need to stop actin like u guys are vamps and wolfs. its disrespecful. u dont need to now where they live at.. seriously stop actin like ur a vamp cuz ur gunna get dem pissed. lucky for me im not a vampire. but u probly gave dem a good laugh.u sure gave me a laugh.. oh n i thought i shuld put this out..whoever says they are a vampire i suggest u dont cuz ur gettin the vampires mad.
to shadowrider.. u say u are a vampire but if u were really a vampire you wuld now that vampires and werewolfs are friends. ur a lying human being..u discust me.. if i was a vampire i wuld have track u down in the computer and kill u.another thing if u were a vampire which ur not and u want to keep ur identity y wuld u say in da computer that ur a vampire where millions and thousands of peoples visit and there are hackers and trackers that can find out where u live. dont ask me how i now so much about vampires and werewolfs cuz thats private.. bye
OMG…Yea I have to admit that it would would be totally awesome if vampires and werewolves actually existed but people come on this is reality. There are no such things as vampires and sure as hell aren’t any werewolves because for one if some one were a werewolf then someone would have surly come across one and told the world about it. Two if there were vampires then more people in the world would go missing because if there would be one there would be another and so on. And when people are found dead they would be drained of all blood not be laying in. So to all of you crazy people in the world who thinks they are or thinks that vampires and werewolves are real then you need to be checked into the nearest insain assylum as soon as possible. Sorry to burst your crazy little bubble but get your head straight before you start posting crazy sht on the internet.
hey somelegendsarereal……r u saying that there r vampires existing or there r no vampires existing…iam not getting ..so plzzz say it clearly….and how do u know?
Ok let me spell it out for you……V-A-M-P-I-R-E-S A-R-E N-O-T R-E-A-L….And if you want the answer to you stupid questions then read my post again. You’ll find all the answers.
to diya.. like i sayd in the last comment..dont ask me how i now so much about vampires and werewolfs cuz thats private..cant tell u dat .. there are vampires oh wait i dont now damm.. wut i now about vampires and werewolfs are private.. maybe i am a werewolf and maybe im not who nows.. i do!!!
thanks for ur answer somelegensarereal….but vanessa is saying that v-a-m-p-i-r-e-s a-r-e- n-o-t r-e-a-l…wat about that…who has the right answer…one say that they exists and other say that there is no such thing
you know half the people on this website claim to be vampires, and u would really think, that if they were vampires, that they have been around for a long time. So considering that, wouldn’t they at least know how to spell properly? Like for instance the word INNOCENT. that’s right, I’m talking to you bella10798! and even if they had an excuse for that, wouldn’t they be hiding who they are? instead of just revealing themselves to perfect strangers? And, i am sorry to admit this, but bella10798 is right. They need to keep secret (assuming, that is, that they exist, which i highly doubt) because people would lock them up and declare them insane if they claimed to be one. And if the said vampire proved that they were the way Edward did with Bella, then they would be murdered. Not by some people, who would believe that they could change, the way the Cullens did, but by the government, by N.A.S.A and maybe by religious people who believe them to be dangerous. So therefore, even if vampires were real, any one on this website who claims to be one, is not.
By the way, any one who likes the twilight series will most likely love the following:
The Vampire Beach Novels
The Vampire Academy Series
The Night World Series
And maybe:
The Wicca Series
omg candycane19.. you are absolutley right. thankgoodness somebody is actually talking sense..
but like i said on the other comments i’ve posted. I kinda believe in vampires.. but then i dont believe that all of you are actually vampires so…. im not taking sides and neither is candycane19. were just saying.
Okay, to all people who are only here because of twilight READ:
Its so stupid to just research legends just because you want to believe that a vampire and a werewolf are fighting over a human girl are compleate, disrespecting, idiots. Yes, Twilight is good but you dont have to go lie and tell people on the internet that your a vampire. Sadly the people who believe that these syco’s are vampirse are morons, why the hell would you give your adress to some random stalker to have them come find you and bite you. In my own words I would like to say to you: WHY ARE YOU SO UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY AN INSAIN GULIBE PERSON?
To all thoes on here who are researching the Quileute’s because of their history, and are not syco, carry on. Let me say:
THEY ARE SO MUCH BETTER THEN WEREWOLVES!
Now, as my final message, let me spell it out for you syco’s:
V-A-M-P-I-R-E-S – & – W-E-R-E-W-O-L-V-E-S – D-O-N-T – E-X-I-S-T
Thank you now carry on.
hippy1985, You dont have to be rude!! People have openminds. They could or could not be Vampires and there could and could not be werewolfs. Who are you to say, “No, there are no Vampires” and “No there are no werewolfs”? its not your decision. Tell me since you belive that there is no such thin as Vampires, where did the storys and ledgends come from? What about werewolfs? if you have an answer write back. People can belive what they want If you dissagree with me comment back. If not, If you dont have nothing good to write dont write it! Your not the boss of anyone and if they think there could be vampires who r u to say no? And come up with a better name Arent hippys supposed to be openminded? dont you think its a little ironic?
actually, my own kind is absolutley right!
i meen, yes we all have open minds, and yes we can all think what ever we want.
i meen, you cant tell what to think or what not to think, i meen would you like it? NO YOU WOULDNT!
SO JUST GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE WITHOUT PESTERING US ABOUT WHAT TO BELIEVE AND WHAT NOT TO BELIEVE.!
I have just finished reading Twilight and I am half way through New Moon and they are fantastic, but I think I have become a little obsessed, and all I can think about is Edward Cullen and sometimes Bella Swan and I am not sure if I am in love with Edward. (If I am, I know I am not in love with Robert Pattinson definately Edward.)
Please help me because I know that Edward Cullen doesn’t exsist, likewise the rest of his family and Bella Swan ect:
Now to my opinions on the forum:
No one can say Vampires, Werewolves and all other mythical creatures do or don’t exist because no one has any proof what so ever, as in none of you wrote the Legends and none of you are a Vampire or Werewolf.
I don’t see how any of you can claim to be a Vampire because why would all the other Vampires go to great lengths to keep thier identity a secret when others just blab it out.
I don’t believe a word of ’somelegendsarereal’s’ posts either because personaly I think she/ he is trying to say that they are a Vampire, but just in a different way to the rest of you ie:
“cuz ur gettin the vampires mad” well how does she/he know
and again
“u discust me” she is disgusted by ’shadowrider’s’ post:
“hay rach vampires r real i am 1 if u want 2 bcum 1 tell me where u live n ill cum n bite u” well why would she be disgusted if she didn’t believe in them/wasn’t a Vampire
And finaly:
she told everyone
“dont ask me how i now so much about vampires and werewolfs cuz thats private.. bye” to me she/he is just acting smug and pretending to know all about Vampires, Werewolves and everything else like that
or trying to make you think well she said she isn’t a Vampire, but she know alot about them and she is telling me not to ask her why, so maybe she is just acting human.
Now I am not sayin they do or don’t exsist because like so many others I do not have any proof.
If they were real and they kept there identities hidden then how would ANY other person in this world know about them!?
I would love all the mythical creatures and tales and I for one think it would be great if these creatures existed, which is probably what every single one of you on this site thinks even if you don’t know yourself, but deep down you do that is the reason for you looking up this site in the first place and posting your thoughts on here.
Twilight has definately impacted my life, I have tried to be so much like Edward Cullen and Alice, it is untrue!
I have another thought! I know all you probably want to be involved with Vampires or anything like that and have a life like Bella, (I know i most certainly do) but have you ever noticed how it always happens to the people who aren’t ready for it/don’t know anything about myths/aren’t interested in things like that who are always chosen….. I will leave my thoughts with you
But once again I ask PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE can somebody help me with my addiction to Edward Cullen because it is driving me insane because I know HE isn’t real and it is upsetting me because I don’t want to be crazy and insane….
Regards Chloé

To mythicalreader, Thank you for the comment. No one can tell us what to belive and what not to belive. TO all the haters, Stop trying to boss ppl around!
to the people who says dey dont exist.. and dont take this offensive really.. but how do u now dat dey dont exist.. if dey exist in da past how do u now dey dont exist now think about dat..i no the answer. but its u humans turn to think rite..please think about wut ur sayin..
to diya if u believe dat dey exist den fine believe it..
i agree that stop saying we have to stop believing just do what you want oh and
twilight “cold ones” is kinda like the quilete legend but a bit different. you really
dont know anything if it is they exist or not
Hey, guys, this place isn’t for fighting!
this place is to learn about the Quileute legions! Who cares if they exitst or not, is there anything we can really do about that? And if they DID exist, I’m sorry to all those on here, but they would openly say they were a vampire. Wouldn’t they want to stay hidden?
Just saying. That’s my thoughts.
i want to break the most importaint vampire law… the Volturi wont know…
to somelegendsarereal i have not said or even mentioned that wolves and vamps are friends or not i hav wolf friends thank you very much!
oh and another thing is i would like to see you track me down cause i use so many computers in so many places it will be very hard,do-able i agree but very hard
