Adam BeachActor Adam Beach (Saulteaux) is widely recognized, in both the Native community and Hollywood, for his work in film and television. Through more than 30 roles, Beach has brought to life many popular characters, including Victor Joseph in Smoke Signals, Private Ben Yahzee in Windtalkers and Frank Fencepost in Dance Me Outside. He currently plays Officer Jim Chee in the television movie adaptations of the best-selling Tony Hillerman novels produced for WGBH's Mystery! Series. In 1995 Beach won the First Americans in the Arts Best Actor Award for his role in My Indian Summer. Beach was raised in Manitoba on the Dog Creek Indian Reserve, and in Winnipeg. Before making the transition to work on-screen, he acted in his high school's drama club and at the Manitoba Theatre for Young People. A father of two young sons, Beach aims to be a positive role model for them and Native youth everywhere. He often visits high schools, speaking about his experiences growing up and about issues affecting Native Americans. He currently lives in Los Angeles.

"I find myself searching for the right characters and the right stories. I think Native cinema right now is booming. We are taking control of our voice and the image of who we are, which is important. The world needs to see us in the image of the way we see ourselves. I have been over the years trying to do roles that show us as people in society and not just a Hollywood Indian, a romanticized Indian."
