Inukshuk



         


An inukshuk or inuksuk (plural inuks(h)uit) is a stone representation of a person, used as a milestone or directional marker by the Inuit of the Canadian Arctic.

Inuksuit vary in shape and size, and perform a diverse array of tasks. The word inuksuk means something which acts for or performs the function of a human.

An inukshuk is shown on the flag and Coat of Arms of the Canadian territory of Nunavut.
