Beau had an unprecedented ability to tap into the collective memory of his people and breathe new life in to age old traditions.

Maker of monsters strives to unearth the factors that made Beau who he was - his deep connection to identity, family, and community, his struggle with addiction - and like a carver chipping away at a block of wood, his story brings truth and understanding out of the woodwork, it illuminates a man whose art and life transcend expectations and boundaries.
