Hebron, Newfoundland and Labrador

Hebron (Nunatsiavummiutitut: Kangerdluksoak, Kangikluksoak or Kangertluksoak) was a Moravian mission and the northernmost settlement in Labrador. The traditional Nunatsiavummiutitut name for the area means "the Great Bay". 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.
