Kalicho was the name assigned to an Inuk man from the Frobisher Bay area of Baffin Island (now in Nunavut Canada).

He was part of a community of hunters and fishers in the area up to the time of his capture on 19 July 1577 by the English explorer, Sir Martin Frobisher.

[1] Frobisher was leading an expedition organised by the English Cathay Company of London, which had been set up to locate a Northwest Passage around America to the Pacific.

[3] Kalicho, Arnaq and Nutaaq attracted considerable interest when they were brought back to the English port of Bristol at the end of September 1577.

Kalicho's kayaking and duck-hunting displays in the harbour attracted large audiences, which were remembered and described in local chronicles decades later.

[11] The depictions of Kalicho, Arnaq and Nutaaq formed the basis for numerous prints that circulated throughout Europe, providing a major reference point for the European understanding of Inuit, known as Eskimos at the time, during the early modern period.
