Did you know the American premiere for "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" was held on 16 November 2009, which, in the lunar cycle is a new moon? Also, in the film each member of the wolf pack had to have papers proving their Native descent. Alex Meraz is Purepecha Tarasco, Bronson Pelletier is Cree-Metis, Chaske Spencer is Lakota Sioux, Kiowa Gordon is Hualapai, and Tyson House—who was discovered at an open casting call—is Cree.
