No, I didn't build this inukshuk! Shot on Cape Croker Indian Reserve, Ontario.
"In inuktituk, the word inukshuk means "image of man". The inukshuk is a sculpture generally built with stones placed in such a way that it looks like a human being.
Inukshuiit (plural of inukshuk) are found in the Canadian Great North, some as old as a thousand years. They are statues made by the natives of these territories. Inukshuiit serve many purposes such as a signal, a marker of food cache and a helpful tool in caribou hunting."
