North of 60

Great Canadian series! I have watched the entire series three times, and two of the movies. Looking forward to seeing the other three movies. I rate this with that great show The Beachcombers.

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 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'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.

I personally love North of 60 it is dramatic, but is funny at times and it deals with real situations that happen on dene reserves.

I believe that this is a truly entertaining program and that if you haven't checked out this series that is now in syndication you don't know what you are missing.

This cast is extraordinary and the show deserves the praise that it does.

This show was filmed in Bragg Creek, Alberta and the scenery is breathtaking

I have learned a lot about the dene people through the program and I think it deserves 5 stars *****
