On this episode of Face to Face: Dallas Goldtooth

In part one of a two-part finale for season 12 of Face to Face, Dennis Ward is joined by activist and actor Dallas Goldtooth. This week they focus on Goldtooth's years of activism, including the pipeline protests in Standing Rock.

It has been 10 years since Standing Rock and as Goldtooth reflects on the protest, the Reservation Dogs star mentions how he was a little more cautious when it came to acting opportunities due to conflicts the industry can have with activism.
