From Twilight Examiner:

(When visiting Forks and the La Push, Washington area), it’s very important for fans to acknowledge and respect the policy of this (the Quileute) community, particularly when it comes to photographs and videos of the area.

The Quileute Nation recently issued a press release detailing those policies, and here are a few important points traveling Twilight fans should know about.

* Only the Quileute Nation can authorize the capture of images and sounds not intended strictly for personal use. Personal videography and sound recordings aren’t permitted, and neither are photographs of singing or dancing performances.
* All artwork is copyrighted and should not be photographed, sketched, or videotaped without the creator or owner’s permission.

These policies are important to know, especially for those creating commercial products from their visits to the area, because there have been incidences of violation in the past.

Notably, there was an infraction made by MSN of the video policy earlier this year, for which they issued an apology.

So, when visiting La Push and the Quileute Nation, please know that they are very welcoming to Twilight fans and new guests of all origins, but the tribe does have this important policy in place and fans should know of and respect it.
