Adam Beach: 'Our Worst Enemy Is Us'
"Beach said he is "putting together an Internet TV show, basically using the Internet to profile who we [Native Americans] are and what we're doing, just change that perspective more than what Hollywood can do."
Beach said he hopes that the show, which he expects to start shooting as early as July, would depict lives of people he has known.
"I have friends who are in gangs, I've been talking to a lot of people who are in prostitution and talking to a lot of people who are senators, wealthy businessmen, actors, writers, lawyers," he said. "I'm trying to address every issue that needs to be told and talked about, from success to struggles."
Beach said he is now "in the process of just finding the people I want to talk to and what kind of message I want to bring."

500 ducks died in an oilsands tailing pond this week, they may be the Tip of the Ice Berg, however.
"Scientists with a U.S.-based research group called the Boreal Song Bird Initiative said there is a long documented history of bird deaths in such ponds.
Professor Jeff Wells of Cornell University said there are records of 15 species of waterfowl that have been killed on Syncrude ponds, and 22 species of other birds.
Wells said for every duck carcass found in the pond, other birds could have died and sunk to the bottom or landed in the water and then flown away, dying in the bush.
"The 500 ducks is just the tip of the iceberg," Wells said. "There is no way to know how many skeletons lie at the bottom of those ponds."
