A cairn is a man-made pile of stones that indigenous people from the Arctic have carefully constructed since long before European contact. The stone sculptures are called names like inuksuit, inunnguat (ᐃᓄᙳᐊᖅ), and more commonly known In English as inuksuk or Inukitut as inuksuk (ᐃᓄᒃᓱᒃ). They serve and served as a vital form of communication, serving as a navigation marker, point of reference for travel routes, fishing places, camps, hunting grounds etc. The Inukshuk is mostly used for directional refrences. It is also commonly used as a symbol of Canadian national identity. May you always find your place.

Cache safely!
