Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe title is a play on the name of the TV show Northern Exposure (1990), in which Graham Greene (Peter Henderson) played Leonard Quinhagak.
- GoofsDuring a standoff, when Shipley tells the native protesters that they have no right to be there, he pulls out a document while explaining that there is already an "agreement between his company and the territorial government". It should be the "provincial" government because British Columbia is a province, not a territory. At the time of filming, the two territories in Canada were the Northwest Territories (NT) and Yukon. The third territory, Nunavut, only came into existence in 1999 after it separated from NT.

Sgt. Hilda Dupont: You think you can pull that off from a high-rise in Toronto?
Peter Henderson: Actually, I was thinking it might be better if I stayed on here for a while. For my client, of course.
Sgt. Hilda Dupont: Of course.
Peter Henderson: Plus, there is some old business I need to wrap up.
Sgt. Hilda Dupont: Really? Well, just keep in mind, this is my home.
Peter Henderson: Hey, it's mine, too. Well, one of them, anyway.

Native Uprising
This MSW story takes Jessica Fletcher to British Columbia where she's stuck in
the Northwest woods awaiting transportation. There's a struggle going on
between the Indian tribe of the area and a mining company headed by Ernie
Lively who want to screw up the environment with yet another of their dredging
operations.
Lawyer Graham Greene has sued on behalf of the Indians before and won and has a temporary injunction against Lively. But there are younger tribesmen who want a more direct approach and maybe one of them took it when Lively isn't so lively any more.
The law here is the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, but Ana Alicia is in civvies as she works on this case with of course Angela Lansbury's help. They didn't have Mounties looking like her in Nelson Eddy's day.
Nicely done story with good photography of the area.
