I agree with Adam.. if its a Native character, natives should be the ones to play it.. he's such a great actor and guy with a wonderful heart..wtg Adam :)

[@kellyblue50]

Adam Beach is so handsome and he is such a nice man.

[@pd-kx7ul]

I'm sorry to learn of his parents tragic deaths.

[@margueritest-jacques5658]

[@Actionnelll]

I fell in Love with him from the movie Squanto 😍

[@corpsi9761]

[@justyb2209]

There’s something about this guy I really like. ✊🏾

[@kcoakes66]

I agree Warchief425, a Native American actor playing a native part would have been awesome. No disrespect to Johnny Depp. Met Adam at my son's lacrosse game in Ottawa, real special moment for my son to meet Adam and his son. Down to earth man, and humbling. Love Arctic Air too!

[@GyricRaid]

adam beach is an amazing actor

[@amymaliga1674]

Adam doesn’t need to flaunt abs with a face like that. Ive always admired Adam and being that he’s handsome is just an added bonus. I do agree about twilight though🤦🏻‍♀️ As if there aren’t enough Native Americans that wouldn’t have played the part better. It makes me giggle ever time I see Twilight and Taylor shows up in a scene. Oh my🤦🏻‍♀️ Not being mean against Taylor, but come on lol.

[@gordonfiddler5802]

I was part of the 60's Scoop myself. My family was the Maytwayashings and Mcleans. The man behind the Day School Settlement was the late Garry Leslie Mclean. He was my uncle. I too am a Day School Survivor too. I first met Adam in 2000 and I learned Adam was my first blood cousin. I am originally from Lake Manitoba First Nation Reserve similar to Adam. 271. I was adopted in 1983 under the Fiddler name.

[@ProudPelican]

I met him before at south beach casino

[@kev_633]

Dude I met him there too. He was just sitting there alone lol

[@miuhoshizora8402]

Adam beach is my uncle and I never met him I heard he came out here in dog Creek lakemanitoba like 3 or 4 years ago playing base ball with all the kids at that time I was alone and never lefted the house and he does got my dad's looks? I hope I get a chance to meet him... 😞

[@cadencegrant3675]

I've met Adam he came to my small home town kitamat bc

[@philparisi2687]

I think Adam Beach would be a great Prime Minister for Canada. He would give indigenous people the voice required as we build the Canada that we can all prosper, live and grow in. The eco industrilization, putting climate change as the challenge we will try to fix together by building the products needed and creating the right social structures. He is a successful Canadian and an amazing personality that i myself would support for our leader. The next Ronald Regan lol. We as Canadians must look for great role models and he is one of them. May he believe that he is that great of a person as we help him establish a more fair society the one that will really make Canada the greatest time in the history of our country. The greatest advancement and growth in the economy yet to come.

[@Infamoustao]

Respect to Adam Beach and his kids, from the JOCKO family AKWESASNE EAST END, JOCKO RD. well i had the chance to sweat his two boys in a sweat lodge with elder Dave Jock, on JOCKO RD, those boys did good for their first sweat, heads tall right in front of the fire pit, they were like old warriors going off to war, or like warriors going dawn below with a 100 case's, those kids did good!!!!!! rip, "DWAYNE JOCKO" movie coming soon

[@pinkscorpion3295]

I know people are going to come down on me hard , but I was disappointed how he treated my friend while driven him back to the airport a few years ago when he was in Dallas . Adam , I enjoy your movies in all . You do great things . But don’t let that “fame “ get all in your head .

[@unknownboy30]

Right on

[@djswan89]

Im his couson from dog creek

[@Blu778]

Get out there Adam tell everyone about Native Americans, How we do want to be heard. many blessings

[@lowercase21]

It's just awesome he's in the new suicide squad movie.

[@c.morningevans6926]

He was wasted in that movie

[@Actionnelll]

I was not happy with his super short role. 😒

[@fabainlopes5814]

I heard of him IN widtalker

[@bruce6465]

AYYYYY MY COUSINN

[@goodstoney]

@ Kimberly Lisa. I've Heard So Many English People Say. I Have Part Native In Me. It Doesn't Make You Native If You Don't Live The Life. Even If A White Man Live The Life Of A Native Role. That Person Would Be Accepted But To Say Your Native And Not Live The Life Style Doesn't Make You One.

[@christopherbrownmaaga4668]

It's Hayes

[@warchief425]

Would have been great if Adam played tonto and depp played the lone ranger ....... but i don't mined johny depp as tonto

[@christopherbrownmaaga4668]

Ira Hayes

[@canadianmaple09]

You're too clever. You got me. You saw that I would define myself as a rationally thinking individual who doesn't fall for ridiculous conspiracy theories, so you limited me to an either/or in which I come out looking stupid if I choose either option. Bravo. I'm ready to buy into your crazy theory now. Where can I buy a good quality tinfoil hat?

[@KimberlyCan]

Sorry Koren Smoke, just saw your question now. It was released in a press bio when Twilight first came out that he has Potawatomi ancestry through his mother. The info never went into percentage of Native roots but he does have some.

[@walterc.charlescampbelllll8485]

I look at you and you look at me

[@jasoncarpp7742]

The first time I heard of Adam Beach was in the movie "Windtalkers", starring Nicolas Cage. I also saw him on the tv series "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit". I never would've guessed that he was Canadian, much less First Nations. At the time, I thought he was either Mexican or Native American (Indian).

[@jasoncarpp7742]

***** It wouldn't have mattered to me. I've some family members who are Native American. :)

[@lowercase21]

He is native a good movie you should check out called smoke signals it's like a cool indie movie.

[@jasoncarpp7742]

+Jason Carpp I also saw him in the movie *"Windtalkers"*, starring Nicolas Cage.

[@c.morningevans6926]

Dude "Native American" is just a bad misnomer First Nations is the better term you shouldn't use "Native American" It's just ignorant.

[@jasoncarpp7742]

Really?

[@MrFoxer35]

Wow, i didnt know that Taylor Lautner wasnt native. Hmmm.

[@Rocker5593]

with Some Americans u say ur Canadian and they're like "oh so ur from the North, how do you deal with the freezing cold and snow all year around?" lol when meantime at least with a good part of Canada its getting warmer and warmer melting ice and what not but i wouldn't suggest blabbering such things around Northern BC or PEI after the winter they've just had ahaha friggen tiny town in N, BC called Kitimat just got dumped on with snow and ice there was like a state of emergency, craziness! and I'm sure PEI thot about doing the same after a similar dumping

[@winonavera1140]

woulalaaaa *_*

[@claudiacarchi837]

from what movie is the part where he's smoking

[@foxu8581]

Claudia Carchi windtalkers

[@MrFoxer35]

At least he is one Native that took advantage of his opportunities, you have to admire that. Which his other First Nations friends would do the same.

[@korensmoke]

Where did you hear this?

[@leekee2578]

Johnny Depp says part Indian but in reality, he's white.

[@lowercase21]

He does look a bit native, to me there's a little bit of native in almost everybody. Cherokee definitely is a tribe that's crossed all over America.

[@corpsi9761]

If it was only that simple. It's fun to just say things.. eh?

[@Blue-jd8jf]

-_- I use to like Adam, but his ignorant remarks on who is Native and who is not, really bothers me. I remember when I first saw Taylor Launter in Spy Kids, i though he was Mexican, Central American or South American. Why is that? Because Mexico, Central America and South America are regions with heavly American indigenous ancestry. Guatemala, Peru and Bolivia alone are the countries with the largest indigenous populations. In fact Canada and the U.S are white by majority with small population of Natives. Even if you combine the Native populations of Canada and the U.S, its too small compared to the huge Native American indigenous populations of Mexico, Central America and South America. Iv noticed that a lot of Native people from Canada and the U.S think that they are the absolute and ultimately last true Native Americans, and that you have to be North American and speak or have a French or English surname to be Native. The name "Adam Beach" is not a American indigenous language name, its English. North American Natives, see Natives from Mexico and Central America, and South America with Spanish language and surnames as "Lesser Natives". Why??? That is stupid. Dont they understand that Noth Americans speak english and french because they were colonized by England and France? And dont they understand that Natives from Mexico, Central America and South America speak either Spanish or Portuguese because they were colonized by Spain and Portugal? How does that make Mexican,Central and South American Native blooded people lesser indigenous than North American Natives?? The only people who can call themselves truly pure cultured and traditional indigenous Americans are the Amazon indians who are uncontacted tribes. Everyone else like Adam, are the result of colonialism and globalism, his name isnt Native to start with, and everything else about him, like his cloths and language and mannerisms ,is European. Some North American indians complain about Mexicans playing U.S Native American roles, and yet they say nothing when U.S and Canadian Natives played the main roles in movies like Apocalypto depicting Mayan of Central America. In fact those U.S and Canadian actor had to learn Mayan to play those roles, taking away the parts from true Native American indigenous Mayans actors who were mostly extras. Also not ever Native cultures in pre-columbia America were in small "tribes". Mexico, Central American and the Andes of South America had developed into huge civilizations with mega-cities. The Europeans colonized and forced them to adopt Spanish, Portuguese and Catholicism, but that does not make them lesser indigenous people than North American small indians tribes who were colonized and forced to adopt English and Christianity like Adam Beach's ancestor. Everyone is the result of colonialism, some were lucky to retain their ancestors ways, other werent so lucky and were forced to give it up. But should we punish them for trying to represent Native American people decently in movies?? No!

[@Mzmissy215]

Blue Azul well said

[@Abbot3663]

Wow. Good point.

[@Belleza07]

I second each of your words. Well said!

[@4G3NTOR4NG3]

I gotta ask just how many Native people have you met that act like Natives from the southern American countries aren't Native? A whole lotta generalization you're putting forward here buddy. It might be due to the fact that a lot of people with Native ancestry from Mexico and further south don't know they're heritage as much. Not saying that is the case with every one of them but I have met a lot of people from Mexico or elsewhere that don't consider themselves Native even tho they have all the traits. With that being said there is some truth to what you're saying.

[@HummingbirdFeather]

Thank you! 🌞🌝

[@3vs547]

I'm 69 years old and have grown up watching movies about the west using white actors to play native americans. It has always irritated the heck out of me. Why not use native americans to play native americans!

[@canadianmaple09]

New World Order conspiracy theorists are hilarious. Please keep these posts coming, they're a never-ending source of entertainment.

[@DrMattDestruction]

In order to volunteer for 10+ hours a week, you need to be able to afford it. This is the Universal Basic Income. Let’s give volunteers a guaranteed minimum income of $1,500ish USD/month. So they can make our communities better. Ugh

[@Crazy-Horse-Tx.]

Stop imitating. Exactly.

[@drizzant23]
