Aprašymas

Kue Young came to Canada from Hong Kong for university and devoted his subsequent years working with, and among, the northern and Indigenous communities.

This book traces the personal journeys he undertook and provides the context and background to his rather unusual and winding career path. It is part memoir, part political and historical discussions, and part a primer on Northern, Indigenous, and Global Health. Although he travelled widely in the course of his career, this book is decidedly not a travelogue.

Kue's life's work can be described as understanding and improving the health of northern peoples and communities, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, in Canada and other circumpolar countries and regions. 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 for all. This book would be of particular interest to students and practitioners who work in, care for, or are curious about Canada's North and its Indigenous peoples.
