Tatannuaq, also known as Tattannoeuck or Augustus, was an Inuk interpreter for two of John Franklin's Arctic expeditions in what is now Canada. Originally from a group of Inuit living 320 km (200 mi) north of Churchill, then part of Rupert's Land, he was employed as an interpreter at the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) trading post in Churchill, becoming proficient in English and Cree. He explained various geographical and Inuit cultural characteristics to Franklin.
