Callicum (died 1789) (sometimes spelled Quelequem or Kallicum) was the brother of Maquinna, an important Mowachaht Nuu-chah-nulth chief during the late 18th century when Western ships first made contact with the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast. Maquinna and Callicum's people lived around Nootka Sound on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Today they are part of the joint Mowachaht/Muchalaht First Nations band government. The earliest ships visiting Nootka Sound were explorers of European imperial powers such as Juan Pérez of the Spanish Navy, in 1774, and James Cook of the British Royal Navy, in 1778. By the late 1780s maritime fur trader merchant ships began to visit, seeking sea otter furs, which commanded a high price in China. Spain attempted to enforce their claim to the Pacific Northwest, an effort that culminated in the Nootka Crisis of 1789, during which Callicum was shot dead in an altercation with the Spanish naval commander Esteban Martínez.
