Good points by Adam on the family circle, the community, violence, addiction, elders of the past, prayer, search for direction, spirituality etc. It looks like he's matured a lot and found a sense of peace over the years. Adam was respectful in his statements, but, I believe ALL families have some type of dysfunction--although minute, within them. I hope he can help his own children to understand and explore depths of true Native spirituality. Creator bless him in that effort.

Words of wisdom that flow naturally from his heart. You can feel the power.

Please forgive my ignorance, but would someone explain to me what is involved in "offering tobacco"? Is it a ceremony? Is it using the leaves by smoking or scattering or planting? Forgive me, I ask respectfully, as I've heard the dear, very handsome Adam Beach refer to this in a couple of YT videos.

So glad, Adam, you "haven't gone Hollywood", and this is from a white lady.

This is awesome! Adam Beach has been one of my favorite Native American actors for a long time. Now he has shown us a personal side of himself - and he does it in a great way. He is worthy of all our respect!
