Bloody Falls

Bloody Falls (or Bloody Fall, or Kogluktok, meaning "it flows rapidly" or "spurts like a cut artery" in Inuktitut)[1] is a waterfall in the Kugluk/Bloody Falls Territorial Park and is the site of the Bloody Falls Massacre and the murder of two priests by Copper Inuit Uloqsaq and Sinnisiak in 1913. The nearest hamlet, Kugluktuk, Nunavut, is 15.8 kilometres (9.8 mi) away.

Historically, this area was occupied by the Kogluktogmiut subgroup of Copper Inuit.[2]
