Inuit in Bristol
Three Inuit captives were brought to Bristol by Captain Martin Frobisher when he returned from his voyage to Canada in 1577. They were a man, woman and baby boy, known as Calichough, Ignorth and Nutiok. Everyone was curious about these people. The mayor of Bristol gave a reception where Calichough demonstrated his kayaking and hunting skills on the River Avon. Sadly, all three soon died of infectious diseases. Calichough and Ignorth are buried in St Stephen's churchyard in Bristol.
