Samuel Hearne (February 1745 – November 1792) was an English explorer, fur-trader, author and naturalist.
He was the first European to make an overland excursion across northern Canada to the Arctic Ocean, specifically to Coronation Gulf, via the Coppermine River. In 1774, Hearne built Cumberland House for the Hudson's Bay Company, its second interior trading post after Henley House[1] and the first permanent settlement in present Saskatchewan.
