LAPUSH — Tinsel Korey, who plays a supporting role in the forthcoming Twilight saga movie, “New Moon,” is visiting the Quileute tribe this week.
Today she visited the Quileute Tribal School.
She will also be on the beach Friday at twilight for a bonfire, pictures and time with fans who are visiting for Stephenie Meyer Weekend in the Forks area.
Korey plays Emily, whose character in the second movie of the Twilight series is pivotal in demonstrating how “imprinting” works.
Imprinting is when a werewolf finds his or her “soul mate” and is inexplicably drawn to and will do anything for the best interests of that person.
“In true Native tradition, she is doing what our ancestors and elders have taught us to do for centuries,” tribal Chairwoman Carol Hatch said.
“Tinsel is giving back and sharing her gifts and talents with our Native youth.”
Korey will be the second actor from the “Twilight” movie series to stop by LaPush.
In July, Solomon Trimble, who played Sam Uley in a supporting role in the first movie, “Twilight,” visited the annual cultural celebration of Quileute Days.
