The word inuksuk means "that which acts in the capacity of a human". For generations, Inuit have been creating these impressive stone markers on the vast Arctic landscape. Inukshuks serve several functions, including guiding travelers, warning of danger, assisting hunters and marking places of reverence.
The Inukshuk has long been recognized as the compass of the arctic. In the Inuit language Inukshuk means “in the likeness of a human” or “someone was here” or “You are on the right path.” They are often found along animal migration routes for hunters to find the direction of herds.
