On the day of settlement, Secret Service comes in buzzing around the room then Ken Salazar walks in. He sits directly across from me and asks ‘Who are you that you can shut down the entire United States government?’ ‘I dont ever want the United States government to abuse us again’. Elouise Cobell

Adam Beach, whose career spans over 20 years and has starred in some of Indian Country’s biggest and most popular hit movies like Smoke Signals, Flags Of Our Fathers and Windtalkers.

Chris Eyre was up for talking about anything ‘not work related’ and wanted to simply observe the other side of Indian Country’s celebrated entertainement icons.

Nathan Chasing Horse is from the Rosebud Nation of South Dakota. He is probably best known for his role as “Smiles-A-Lot” in the epic movie “Dances with Wolves.”  He has been in several other productions since then including the film “Dreamkeeper” and the TV miniseries “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.”
