Synopsis

North of 60 is a mid-1990s Canadian television series depicting life in the sub-Arctic northern boreal forest. It first aired on CBC Television in 1992 and was syndicated around the world. It is set in the fictional community of Lynx River, a primarily Native-run town depicted as being in the Dehcho Region, Northwest Territories. Most of the characters were Dene. Some non-native characters had important roles: the restaurant/motel owner, the band manager, the nurse and the town's main RCMP officer. The show explored themes of Native poverty, alcoholism, cultural preservation and conflict over land settlements and natural resource exploitation. Originally somewhat light-hearted, it quickly became a more dramatic and ponderous series.

Teevee pushes Michelle to accept the idea of an aboriginal police force, with former RCMP member Marjorie Sebastian supporting him and his former cellmate Matthew Fowler as a test case for community rehabilitation. But when a tourist is killed, suspicion falls on Matthew and on a Lynx River resident who may have had a longstanding grudge against the victim.
