Kugluk/Bloody Falls Territorial Park[1][2] (Inuinnaqtun: kugluk; English: waterfall[3]) is located about 15 km (9.3 mi) southwest of Kugluktuk, Nunavut, Canada. The 10 ha (25 acres) park is situated around the Bloody Falls on the Coppermine River and was listed as a national historic site in 1978.[4]
The park is probably best known as the site of the Bloody Falls Massacre that occurred when Samuel Hearne's Chipewyan guides massacred a group of Copper Inuit they found camped at the falls.[5]
