Jordan Wheeler (Cree), Carol Geddes (Tlingit), & Carol Greyeyes (Cree) are among the writers for the television show “North of 60”.
"Born of the heightened consciousness of the First Nations in the late 1980s this hour-long CBC series is the first in North America to focus almost exclusively on contemporary First Nations characters and situations. Created by Wayne Grigsby and Barbara Samuels, the series is currently in production for a fourth season. Aboriginal writers like Jordan Wheeler (also a story editor) and novelist and film writer Thomas King have provided some of the scripts." (summary from site above)
