Abraham Ulrikab

Abraham Ulrikab (January 29, 1845 - January 13, 1881) was an Inuk from Hebron, Labrador, in the present day province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, who – along with his family and four other Inuit – agreed to become the latest attraction in the ethnographical shows organized by Carl Hagenbeck, owner of the Tierpark Hagenbeck, a zoo in Hamburg, Germany.

Before 1893, the Inuit of northern Labrador did not use patrilineal surnames. Instead, the surnames of married couples would usually be their spouse's given name followed by the letter "b" or "ib" is the name didn't end with a vowel so it is likely that Ulrikab's surname is actually spelt "Ulrikeb" ("Ulrike" was his wife's name). His wife's full name was likely "Ulrike Abrahamib". Children used the surname of the parent of the opposite gender before marriage so their children were likely named "Sara Ulrikeb" and "Maria Ulrikeb".

The eight Inuit were from two families. Their approximate ages upon arrival in Europe were as follows:

On August 26, 1880, all eight Inuit boarded the schooner Eisbär (which means "polar bear" in German) and headed to Europe. They arrived in Hamburg on September 24, 1880. Their show at the Tierpark Hagenbeck opened on October 2, 1880. On October 15, the group was moved to Berlin where they were exhibited at the Berlin zoo until November 14. They then traveled to Prague followed by Frankfurt and Darmstadt. Here, Nuggasak died suddenly on December 14. The group moved on to Crefeld where Paingu died on December 27. It wasn't until little Sara showed symptoms that the doctors were finally able to diagnose the sickness that was affecting the Inuit: smallpox. It is with a broken heart that Abraham and Ulrike had to entrust Sara to the hospital in Krefeld as the group had to depart for their next destination, Paris. Sara died on December 31, 1880 as her parents arrived in Paris.
