Inukshuk
- pronounced(In-ook-shook) is a stone monument erected in the image of humans. One of their purposes was to serve as a directional marker in the harsh Arctic environment. They were a tool of survival and a symbol of safety, hope and friendship. Each stone is a separate entity, yet each supports and is supported by, the one above and the one below it. Its strength lies in its unity. Its significance comes from its meaning as a whole. The Inukshuk reminds us of our interdependent responsibilities to the land, and to direct a better way for all of us tomorrow.
