Native Americans are outraged at Summit Entertainment’s plans to cast many non-Native American actors into Quileute roles in the upcoming “New Moon.”

Several Native Americans voiced their chagrin on www.bluecorncomics.com. One woman commented on the plant to cast Vanessa Hudgens as Leah: “Surely, in all of America, there has to be at least one qualified Native American actress!” Another person said that if Stephanie Meyer is at all involved in the casting, that she must be a “conscious rather than unconscious racist.

What do you think? Must a Native American character be played by a Native American actor?
