Gil Birmingham to Be Honored at La Push Quileute Days Festival
Gil Birmingham will be honored at the annual Quileute Days Festival in La Push. You can see the entire schedule of events here. The event is open to the public and admission is free.
According to the press release:
�In honor of actor Gil Birmingham�s portrayal of tribal chairman Billy Black and his telling of the legends of the Quileute tribe in the block-buster film Twilight Saga Eclipse, the Quileute Nation has invited him to participate in Quileute Days, Saturday, July 16 at the Akalat Center Grounds. Quileute Days will run Friday through Sunday and will include traditional tribal games, softball games, a parade, vendors and more. The annual event is free to the public.
�We are delighted to welcome Gil to La Push and Quileute Days,� tribal spokeswoman Jackie Jacobs said. �It is an honor to have him join us in this very special celebration of Quileute culture and traditions. How wonderful to have Gil Birmingham, who portrays Council Chairman Billy Black in �Twilight Saga: Eclipse� meet the true Chairwoman Anna Rose Councell-Geyer and the other members of the Quileute Tribal Council.�
On Saturday, Birmingham will join in the festival parade at noon, hold a 3 p.m. autograph session � a $20 contribution is required(proceeds benefit the elders of the Quileute Nation) � and will make a 4 p.m. guest appearance at the Talent Showcase.
�I am truly honored to be invited to the Quileute Nation this weekend as they celebrate their culture and traditions,� said Gil Birmingham (Comanche) from his home in Los Angeles, CA. �In the three Twilight Saga films, I attempted to portray Billy Black and Quileute tribal members with honor and respect. The entire premise of the Twilight books and movies is based on Quileute tribal legends which are deeply rooted in the ancient cultural traditions. It was important to me that the legends, as well as an honest portrayal of modern day Native Americans, come through in the film Eclipse.�
The theme of Quileute Days this year is �History through Our Traditions,� focusing on education about the authentic Quileute history, legends and culture. Stick games � a traditional betting game � will begin at 6 p.m. Friday and at 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Also, there will be a Jacob Black and Bella Swan look-alike contest.�
Also the Quileuete Nation just redesigned their website, and it�s stunning! Check out their website here. Don�t forget that the Quileuete Nation has a store with all proceeds benefiting the tribe. If you want authentic Quileute goods, get them right from the source!
