Why an Inukshuk?
Posted Jul 8, 2008 @ 5:33 am, Viewed by 169 Visitors, Read 176 Times.
An "inukshuk" [plural: inuksuit], is an Inuit word that literally translated means "stone man that points the way." Inukshuks are stone cairns that were erected by Inuit at prominent locations throughout the barrens to serve as guideposts or markers.
Inukshuks can now be seen in people's gardens and yards, on the shores by their cottages, out front of condominiums, in the boardroom. There are stunning pieces of art in all shapes & sizes, from silver coins to mini rock figurines, to gorgeous oil paintings.

Vancouver chooses the Inukshuk ("Ilanaaq") as emblem for the 2012 Canadian Olympics.
