Lynx River Revisited: A North of 60 Rewatch Podcast

Revenge porn and teenage addiction issues take centre stage this week as Michelle has to confront her own demons watching Donna struggle to stay housed.

Meanwhile, TV threatens to broadcast a peeping tom video of Eric and Sarah to get revenge. It's a wild ride for Brie and Melaw as we zigzag between the two plotlines. Join us!

Peter's wife Ellen doesn't want to go to Yellowknife to give birth, causing Sarah to freak out that she is making a huge mistake. Harris and Jerry scheme up a joint venture local birthing centre.

Melaw, Brie and Heather discuss one of the most relevant and touching episodes to date. 

Eric's family finally come and visit and Michelle becomes obsessed with catching a local poacher harvesting meat disrespectfully. (Melaw and Brie don't like Lindy but they do love to see Michelle in action.)

Northern Reflections finally gets its uncredited role as the fashion brand of the whole show. 

The whole community is rocked as visiting US military pilots assault a Lynx River community member.

Brie and Melaw examine this episode that swung really big tackling a super tough subject and ask if they got it right.

It's TREATY DAY! Does five bucks still get you a slush?

Michelle and Hannah get a surprise visitor, while Melaw and Brie get emotional over the cameos of their Fort Simpson schoolmates who get the people on the floor at the drum dance. Eric and Sarah finally cash in on their building chemistry.

Melaw and Brie welcome Inuk anthropologist Letitia Pokiak to discuss this episode that sees Albert Golo bartering a missing hunter's remains for his own grandparents, who are held by a museum in Manitoba.

Hannah deals with some bullying and we see some sick rabbit hunting in leather jackets.

Sarah's ex-boyfriend returns to propose and the GNWT wants to build a road to Lynx River. Brie and Melaw discuss what could quite possibly be the WORST episode of North of 60 ever - and they love every minute of it. 

Brie, Melaw and her dad Jim discuss the show's first real deep dive into the community and its challenges, particularly around alcohol addiction and bootlegging.

Jim serves us a deadly Dene Zhatie word of the day and tells us some of the true stories around caribou in the Dehcho that the show adapted for its purposes.

Melaw and Brie look at Eric's arrival into Lynx River and our first glimpse of the North of 60 characters we know and love. Thirty years after this show first aired, are we still on the cusp of a new era of Indigenous governance in northern Canada?

Watch along by finding North of 60 on APTN+, Amazon Prime or YouTube.

Introducing Lynx River Revisited! The podcast that revisits the trailblazing Indigenous drama North of 60, episode by episode, and asks why it is still relevant today.

Hosts Melaw Nakehk'o and Brie O'Keefe dig into their own childhoods growing up in the Dehcho region of the Northwest Territories to dissect what they got right, what they got wrong, and why Tina Keeper looks so incredible in Levi's jeans.
