The Olympian
The Inukshuk (pronounced IN-OOK-SHOOK) meaning "in the image of
man", are magnificent, lifelike figures of stone which were erected
by the Inuit people and are unique to the Canadian Arctic. They
were made in different forms and for different purposes: to show
directions to travellers, to warn of impending danger, to mark a
place of respect, or to act as helpers in the hunting of caribou.
An inukshuk can be small or large, a single rock, several rocks
balanced on each other, round boulders or flat. Inuit tradition
forbids the destruction of inukshuk. Standing along Canada's most
northern shores, they endure as eternal symbols of leadership,
encouraging the importance of friendship and reminding us of our
dependence upon one another. The traditional meaning of an Inukshuk
was to act as a compass or guide for a safe journey. The Inukshuk,
like ancient trackers, helped guide people seeking their way
through the wilderness.
An Inukshuk on land with two arms and legs means there is a
valley. At the end of this valley, you will be able to go in two
directions. Today, this serves as a reminder that we always have a
choice in the direction we choose to take in our lives.
