Summary "Kalli, the Esquimaux Christian: A Memoir" by T. B. Murray is a biography published in the mid-19th century. The book recounts the life of Kallihirua, a young Esquimaux man brought to England aboard Her Majesty's Ship "Assistance" during an Arctic expedition. The memoir highlights Kalli's journey from his isolated northern home to becoming a Christian in England, capturing the cultural exchanges and transformations he underwent along the way. The memoir details Kallihirua's experiences from his life among the Esquimaux, where he engages in traditional activities like seal hunting, to adapting to life in England, where he receives education and participates in the Great Exhibition of 1851. Kalli's time at St. Augustine’s College illustrates his earnest pursuit of knowledge and spirituality. He ultimately undergoes baptism, embracing Christianity while longing to share this faith with his people back home. However, Kallihirua's life is tragically cut short by illness shortly after relocating to Newfoundland for further missionary training. His story serves not only as a testament to his character and faith but also reflects themes of cultural encounter and the challenges faced in bridging vastly different worlds.
