notes:
Akaitcho was the chief of a tribe (perhaps Chipewyan) that had agreed to guide Franklin's expedition and provide it food. The group led by Akaitcho met near Fort Providence located in present-day Northwest Territories near where Great Slave Lake meets the Mackenzie River. Text states that Akaitcho means Big-foot.Franklin's expedition sailed in Hudson's Bay Company ships to try to map the northern part of Canada and to discover a northwest passage by land. Midshipmen Hood and Back were attached to the expedition because of their scientific and artistic abilities. Hood was the primary surveyor and draughtsman; he died in September, 1821, shot by Michel Terohaute, a voyageur or guide. Finden, the engraver, took considerable liberties with the original drawings.
