Most of the Twilight Saga's literary sins are victimless crimes, with one notable exception. The real stories, culture, and home of the Quileute people were exploited in the creation of Twilight's fictional werewolf shapeshifters. To be frank, the Quileute Nation is owed a massive apology and compensation from Meyer and the filmmakers behind the Twilight movies. (In my opinion.)
