Kali Peary, a child of Greenland, an Inuit
Father was famous explorer Robert E Peary
Mother was Aleqasina, an Inuit
Wife of Peeahwahto
NOTE
While conducting research in Greenland in 1986, Counter met the eighty-year-old Inuit sons of the North Pole co-discoverers, Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary and Matthew Henson.
Counter organized and raised the funds to bring Anaukaq Henson, Kali Peary and their families to the United States to meet their American relatives in 1987.
Counter sought proper recognition for Henson’s contributions to Arctic exploration and co-discovery of the North Pole in 1909, and his work led to Henson’s body being moved from his grave in the Bronx, New York, to the Arlington National Cemetery, and the U.S. Navy commissioning a U.S.N.S. oceanographic explorer ship named in Henson's honor.
Peary's wife had two children , Marie Ahnighito and Robert Peary, Jr.
Due to his life as an explorer, Peary was frequently gone for years at a time.
In their first twenty-three years of his marriage, he spent only three with his wife and family.
He missed the birth of his son Robert Jr and his early death.
While in the Arctic years later, Peary had a long-term relationship with an Inuit woman, Aleqasina (who is estimated to have been 14 when they began).
She bore him at least two children, including a son Kali, identified in the late 1980s when he was an octogenarian.
