Taylor's Werewolf Pack

It has officially been announced who the members of Taylor Lautner's werewolf pack will be for upcoming sequel New Moon. From Stephenie Meyer's website here is an excerpt:

..."Summit Entertainment announced today that Native American/First Nation actors Chaske Spencer, Bronson Pelletier, Alex Meraz, Kiowa Gordon and Tyson Houseman have signed on to star as the members of the wolf pack in The Twilight Saga: New Moon. In the film, the wolf pack defends humans against vampires although they have a tribal history intricately entwined with Edward Cullen and his family. The wolf pack members will join Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and fellow wolf pack member Taylor Lautner in the film directed by Chris Weitz which will be released domestically November 20, 2009.

Each member of the wolf pack is of Native decent. Spencer is Lakota (Sioux), Pelletier is Cree-Metis, Meraz is Purepecha (Tarasco), Gordon is Hualapai, and Houseman, who was discovered at an open casting call, is Cree. Casting of the wolf pack was overseen by award-winning casting director Rene Haynes who is well-known for her work on Native projects ranging from Dances with Wolves to Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee..."

Now we no longer have to wonder about whether director Chris Weitz was going to be true and give Native Americans the parts of the werewolf pack. Their due has been given! All of this new publicity with give these newbies a glorious chance in the spotlight as they have a once in a lifetime chance to prove themselves in front of the whole world. Good luck guys!
