Indigenous representation

I'm British, and have been a huge fan of Due South since I was a teenager in the 2000s. I'm rewatching it for the first time in maybe ten years and I've been pleasantly surprised at how well it seems to have aged, particularly the way the show pokes fun at various stereotypes without being cruel. However, being from the UK I don't really have the background to assess how well it handles the indigenous characters, and I would love to hear some other fans' thoughts on this. Thanks!
