Treaty



In Twilight, Jacob mentioned to Bella that a treaty was stipulated between the Cullens and the Quileute tribe. A truce was maintained as long as the Cullens wouldn't bite any humans or come on to the Quileute's land (La Push), and the Quileute shape-shifters wouldn't attack them or reveal their presence to the humans. Carlisle Cullen and Ephraim Black were the signatories. Two exceptions were made in Eclipse, when Carlisle and Edward enter the Quileute lands to tend to Jacob's wounds; and two in Breaking Dawn, when Jacob permits Edward to turn Bella into a vampire, and when Sam Uley permits Alice and Jasper to cross over to access the ocean.
