Kalicho was the name assigned to an Inuk man from the Frobisher Bay area of Baffin Island (now in Nunavut Canada). He was brought back to England as a captive by Sir Martin Frobisher in 1577. He was taken along with an unrelated Inuk woman and her infant, who were named by the English as Arnaq and Nutaaq. The three were among the first Inuit and the first indigenous people from North America to be brought to England and among the best documented of the Tudor period.
