Adam Beach's Quotes

I felt that this character could reach out to them and really connect. He's a character who's struggling with himself. He's trying to get back in touch with the person he once was.

You can't propel a nation to move forward if all you are doing is taking something from them.
• I feel I will always have that spirit bear with me, so I will always feel protected.
• We're not going anywhere. We are never going to give up our sovereignty. We will always advance and we will always rise above any conflict.
