'Portrait of Akaitcho, and his son'
Full-length portrait of Akeh-Cho, the Yellowknife chief, and his only son. Akeh-Cho wears blue bottoms, a brown smock, a fur overcoat and mittens, and holds a rifle in his right hand; his son wears a long smock with blue sleeves and a red collar and mittens.
Illustration from Narrative of a journey to the shores of the Polar Sea, by John Franklin (London, 1823).
John Franklin (1786-1847) British Naval officer and exporer was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1823. In 1819 he was chosen to lead the Coppermine Expedition overland from Hudson Bay to chart the North Coast of Canada.
Chief Akeh-Cho (ca.1886-1838) of the Yellowknives. The Yellowknives [T'satsąot'ınę] are one of the five main groups of the First Nations Dene who live in the Northwest territories of Canada. Akeh-Cho's territory encompassed the Coppermine and Yellowknife rivers, and northeast into the Barren Grounds. He was recruited to act as interpreter, guide, and hunter for Franklin's Coppermine expedition.
