While visiting London, Kane saw the one-man show of the work of American artist, George Catlin. It was a collection depicting the American Indian. Catlin had spent a couple of years travelling around the United States painting and gathering material for the book he published in 1841. This encounter rekindled Kane's interest in native life and he vowed to return and do a similar study of the Indians further north.
