The Inuksuk at Ada Hayden
In the fall of 2011, internationally recognized artist and cultural teacher, Peter Irniq, shared his passion and expertise with the citizens of Ames through the making of three stone landmarks called inuksuk.
Inuksuit (the plural of Inuksuk) were made by Inuit, thousands of years ago, as messengers for future Inuit travelers. As they are normally in areas of good fishing at rivers and lakes, good places to hunt caribou, or good seal hunting places along the sea coast, they are voiceless and silent markers for survival of Inuit.
