North of 60

I'm actually from the United States and happened upon the show while watching some Canadian television on CBC. I loved the show right from the start. I had never seen a Native series on television before and this show was captivating. You could relate to all the characters in one way or another, it didn't always feel like just a Native show. The characters had problems that we all have, they went through experiences we all eventually go through and it was just well put together. I've seen all the episodes repeatedly and even though the show has been off for years, but continues through made for TV movies I still hunger for more North of 60!

I have watched North of 60 for a number of years, and it fascinates me just as much now as it did when it ended in 1997-98. It shows the problems the Natives went thru, with the animosity between them and the white people. It is a show of hardships, prejudice, integrity, community support, and the complications families can go through. The scenery is magnificent, and the various seasons were interesting to see how people adapted. It definitely opened my eyes to every day living in Canada with the Native Culture. The five shows produced after the Series ended, were great also! There is a 6th one in the making, but unfortunately, there are no funds available to release it. North of 60 has given a lot to its fans, and its too bad it had to stop at Season 6. The story line could have went on for years. Its shows like this, make me very Proud to be Canadian! Excellent Show!!

I haven't seen this for many years. I live in ND and we used to get one Winnipeg channel here (CBC). I recorded the series and I think I've seen every episode. Last I checked they didn't even have it on DVD. I wish there was a way to see it because it's a very good and unique drama about people in the far north of Canada.

I learned about our native communities across Canada. During my career in the mining industry, I visit & meet native leaders & thankfully learn beyond my profession; tradition, respect for the land

I want this series to return with an updated format; to challenge our youngsters & have them ask questions; for us to question federal liberal wasteful spending & denial; to show an accomplished proud people & to bring to the fore...land claims.

Where is producer Wayne Grigsby when you need him ??

I am so saddened that no upcoming native producers, directors with all the cinema teck available cannot run a limited series even on YouTube, to include some of the original actors in cameo appearances to get the investment community interested ! Float a cinema investment/bond issue for all Canadians.

I've watched this series from its first episode in 1992 to its final episode in 1998 and I'm glad that I did because it was so well produced and everything. Of course, it was pretty much an all-Native cast with a few white actors/actresses who fit their roles in the show perfectly. The whole series along with the 4 movie sequels were all filmed in Bragg Creek, Alberta however they could have just as easily filmed the series up in actual Dene territory in NWT if they wanted. Its not clear to me why they chose to film it down in southern Alberta.

But anyways......... all in all, an excellent series with superb sequel movies to go with it.
