Kue Young came to Canada from Hong Kong to study medicine at McGill University, Montreal. He devoted his subsequent years working with Northern and Indigenous communities of Canada and other circumpolar regions. He also worked in Tanzania training rural health workers. This memoir traces his complex journeys and provides the context to his rather unusual and winding career path. Partly political and historical, and partly a primer on Northern, Indigenous, and Global Health, as well as deeply personal, his story is an inspiration for Canadians to look beyond their own communities, learn about and from other peoples and cultures, and seek opportunities to make the world a better place.

This book should be of particular interest to students and practitioners who work in, care for, or are curious about Canada's North and its Indigenous peoples.

About the Author

Born in Hong Kong, Kue Young came to Canada to attend McGill University, earning a medical degree in 1973. He volunteered as a CUSO volunteer to train rural health workers in Tanzania. Returning to Canada in 1980, he was appointed medical director in Sioux Lookout Zone, Ontario, which led to his lifelong dedication to Indigenous and Northern health in Canada and the circumpolar regions of the world, focusing on emerging chronic diseases such as diabetes. After working as department head at the University of Manitoba, in 2002 he arrived at the University of Toronto and led a program devoted to the training of Indigenous researchers, and in 2013 he was appointed Dean of the School of Public Health at the University of Alberta. Retired, he lives in Fernie, British Columbia.
