Adam Beach: Rewriting the Hollywood Indian | The Gail Appel Lectureship

[@ferniejackson8300]

This is the best speech I ever heard about native matters. Adam Beach, I hope You will achieve everything You dream of for Your people. You will always be in my heart.

[@justchill135]

Adam is always delightful to hear speak publicly, but that was above even his standard. He really put deep thought into this presentation. it's so inspiring to see someone at that level wearing his heart on his sleeve for the people.

[@ritaplaysrobloxx7649]

Adam beach you are legend awesome native American actor cool guy

[@litahsr.8226]

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee was the best hope he get more movies from Native American history or remake like crazy horse

[@jennydoyle4828]

This must also hit home personally for Adam, after losing his Uncle/Father figure Chris Beach in 2016, and his Uncle's foster son who took his own life in 2005. Adam is a WONDERFUL person, and I have read that his Uncle Chris Beach was a really great man too. Very kind people.

[@edwardtasi2905]

Jenny,Adam lost his pregnant mom from a drunkin driver,then his dad drowned a couple weeks later( maybe suicide) and he and his brothers moved in with his grandmother and then uncle at a very young age.Yes,he has been through a rather traumatizing life himself.

[@jennydoyle4828]

The sweetest guy............I love to listen to his talks...........he is so natural and authentic.

[@jfouriex]

This is truly heart breaking

Adam you are a blessing to this world . You are such the better person than me. I need to sit down and take notes asap. You need people to support you Adam. 👊 in the fight of the native american issue/s . Constantly being pushed under. I admire your integrity. Peace and love my brother.

[@catherined2876]

Lovely speech!! Adam is seriously such an amazing person, leader, and (it seems like) friend! Does anyone know where I can keep up with his projects? Or in general if there's a reliable website with updates of Indigenous peoples&film? (besides APTN)?

[@jwalker7888]

Thank you Adam, for living with heart.

[@bgrose78]

What a wonderful human being.

[@kristallmenschkristallwolf1969]

i heard many speaches but this as an many Years Famous Actors is very Important for Natives and the World

[@kristallmenschkristallwolf1969]

The fact of the Suffer and Mourning of Native People the more i hear is very touching my Heart and makes Fact that the Movies with Natives are Ways to Survive for natives und exploses the Lies in Movies of Romancing the native

[@Happy_HIbiscus]

dude, everytime i see adam h's always nice and gives me a hug ! i kid u not

[@LasEnchiladas]

Why aren't there more views??? Ugh....I would love to meet Adam!! 💞

[@tiffanytombs9408]

Adam you hit the nail on the head. I am not Indian, but I have seen through the same lens of which you are speaking. Not through experience, but just seeing the BS for myself . You know bringing up the fact of Indian people being only the back drop of Hollywood. I always saw that and also when you were in suicide squad you hardly got any screen time. Be nice to see a native person play a native and non native roles. If anyone is to save anyone it is the Creator. We should stop seeing people and their color. You are awesome Adam! I pray GOD guides you through this process.

[@myfriendisaac]

BEAUTIFUL 👏🏾😭💐 He made some deeply insightful points & also has an infectious laugh! Great lecture, Adam.

Starts at 4:54 You're Welcome! 😁

"Dignity and strength"---that's what AB has brought to his every role, and so to the mainstream culture's idea of Native peoples which needs so badly to be changed. I hope he will someday play the lead role in my fact-based film about Native New England, a Massachusett leader called Many Arrows, in "Merrymount: A True Adventure Comedy." ancientlights.org/merrymount.html

[@margaretboardman9069]

You are doing so great Adam

I am a fan of famous American Indians/Canada First Nations and he is my idol. And honestly, he has the charisma of Russell Means.

please can i srare this...i love adam beach...

[@sarahlynn6837]

I meet Adam beach in the summer of 1997. I was traveling from my hometown of Sipekne'katik first nation . Heading to the Highlands of waygobah Cape Breton. I was expected to attend the soft ball tournament .It just so happens that there was a pow wow going on at the same time. As I'm gathering my belongings from the bottom of the bus I stop n take a break. The whole sound crew decided to step off the bus n stretch there legs. As I'm listening to the conversation amongst them their curious of the view.I started joining into the conversation. Answering questions as best I could. Long behold an answer I shoot back was "enit ah".I had 3 different non-native people look back at me all puzzled. Then somebody asked me what the phrase ment. So I described it as best I could. Then the director explained his quest. Asking if he can have permission to use it in the content of his style of writing. Sure glad the home team I was routing for won the game that year. Otherwise I wouldn't have had the privilege of meeting Victor & Thomas g-riding on the local public transit.I dought anybody else remember me. I might have been known as the "enit eh" Indian women who came from the middle of nowhere. I was only 16 at the time.

ADAM, DO THE NATIVE WANT TO BE CALLED INDIAN OR NATIVE AMERICANS? LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEW MOVIES

[@kaebee2443]

Homesteading The Pioneer Way Native Americans or just Natives is fine. Indigenous is fine as well!

[@karlos_infamous]

I think he used "Indian" because of the generational gap. Adam is a Gen-X, he grew up in the 80's and early 90's where the term "Indian" was accepted as someone of Indigenous background in the Americas region. Additionally, other Gen-X natives from USA also prefer "Indian" or "American Indian" to remind the US government to honor the treaties made with the tribes.

[@AhNee]

@@karlos_infamous We all have our personal designations, has nothing to do with Gen-X or anything else. "Indian" is also still a legal definition. It's as individual as people are.

[@alairefaye4619]

why not find an indiginous youth whos able to write a script, and find other indiginous peoples to act, produce, etc... and show the old stories that are handed down from the elders?

[@AhNee]

Because Hollywood isn't opening those doors. Though now with "Rutherford Falls" and "Reservation Dogs", those doors might open a sliver of a crack.
