François Beaulieu II
François Beaulieu II was a chief of the Yellowknife tribe (1771 – November 1872). He was an Arctic guide and interpreter who played an important role in exploration of the Northwest Territories of Canada.
Guide and chief.
He was a Metis, the son of François Beaulieu and Ethiba, a woman of Chipewyan and Cree descent. The circumstances of his childhood are speculation at present. As a young man, requested for his knowledge of the region, Beaulieu accompanied Sir Alexander Mackenzie on his overland
name, and consequent separation of the bass singer and composer into two biographies, is due to an erroneous "Lambert de Beaulieu" in a letter by Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor to the French king attempting to employ the composer Beaulieu for his own court. The error in Rudolf's letter was reproduced by François-Joseph Fétis in his influential "Biographie universelle des musiciens".
