“Nutaaq” (from “baby” in Inuktitut, real name unknown)

In 1577, the English explorer Martin Frobisher captured three Inuit , a woman and her infant and an unrelated man , from what is currently known in English as Baffin Island in the far north of Canada. After Kalicho (unrelated) and his mother, Arnaq died, the baby Inuk, Nutaaq, was rushed to London, where he was put on display at the Three Swans Inn. He did not survive the experience, and, like the unnamed man in 1576, was buried at St Olave Hart Street. In 2013, the Talhtan scholar and performance artist Peter Morin led a ceremony at St Olave to honour the child.
