In 1974 he received a diploma for a course in renewable resources technology and later worked for Yukon Renewable Resources. He worked for Harry Allen at the Council for Yukon Indians (CYI) to bring Yukon First Nations together.((//Whitehorse Area Chiefs, 1898 to 1998,// Whitehorse: Kwanlin Dun First Nation, 1997: 14, 60-63; //Listen to the Stories: A History of the Kwanlin Dün: Our Land and People.// Kwanlin Dün First Nation, 2013: 74-75.)) | Joe grew up spending time with his grandmother, Susie Hutshi Jim, a well-known medicine woman.
