About
Bloody Falls (or Bloody Fall, or Kugluk, meaning "waterfall" in Inuinnaqtun) is a waterfall on the Coppermine River, in the Kugluk/Bloody Falls Territorial Park of Nunavut, Canada. It was the site of the Bloody Falls Massacre in 1771 and the murder of two priests by Uloqsaq and Sinnisiak, two Copper Inuit men in 1913.
The nearest community, Kugluktuk, Nunavut, is 15 km (9.3 mi) northeast. The traditional campsite at the falls is known as Onoagahiovik ("the place where you stay all night") because it's a good fishing area.
