L'inukshuk aujourd'hui, un symbole fort du Canada

Progressivement, l'inukshuk est devenu un emblème canadien important, représentant l'amitié, l'espoir, la solidarité et l'accueil fraternel. Il a servi d'illustration à un timbre canadien et il est représenté sur le drapeau du territoire du Nunavut. À Washington, aux États-Unis, un inukshuk a été érigé dans le hall de l'ambassade canadienne. À Bernières-sur-Mer, en France, un inukshuk est dédié aux soldats canadiens, tombés sur la plage de Bernières le 6 juin 1944. En Afghanistan, des soldats des Forces Armées canadiennes ont construit un inukshuk, à la mémoire de leurs collègues, décédés en service.

Inuksuit continue to serve as an Inuit cultural symbol. An inuksuk is the centre piece of the flag and coat of arms of the Canadian territory of Nunavut, and the flag of Nunatsiavut. The Inuksuk High School in Iqaluit is named after the landmark.

Inuksuit—particularly, but not exclusively, of the inunnguaq variety—are also increasingly serving as a mainstream Canadian national symbol. In 1999 Inukshuk was the name for the International Arctic Art & Music Project of ARBOS in the Canadian provinces of Québec, Ontario, Nunavik, and Nunavut; and in Greenland, Austria, Denmark and Norway.[12]

On July 13, 2005, Canadian military personnel erected an inuksuk on Hans Island, along with a plaque and a Canadian flag, as part of Canada's longstanding dispute with Denmark over the small Arctic island.[
