Abstract: Both Alaska and Indigenous North Canada share similarities in geographic location, population, and a history of colonization. While both regions have seen a significant decline in tuberculosis (TB) prevalence over the last century, Nunavut, Canada, has reported a troubling resurgence of TB cases since the early 2000s.
