Hebron (Nunatsiavummiutitut: Kangerdluksoak,[1] Kangikluksoak[2] or Kangertluksoak[3])[4] was a Moravian mission and the northernmost settlement in Labrador. The traditional Nunatsiavummiutitut name for the area means "the Great Bay".[4] Founded in 1831, the mission disbanded in 1959. The Inuk Abraham Ulrikab and his family, exhibited in human zoos in Europe in 1880, were from Hebron.[5][6]
