When you drive through some parts of Canada you see stone landmarks or Inuksuit on rocky cliffs lining roads and highways. One of these carefully balanced piles of rocks is called an Inuksuk (pronounced “in-uk-shuk”). The people of the Arctic region once used Inuksuit to provide directional guidance, mark good hunting and fishing places, and sometimes just to say, “we were here.” Hikers, artists, and whoever else feels the calling to create, still assemble these cairns much to the delight of visitors like me. This simple three stone Inuksuk is pointing the way to a favorite hidden bay on Lake of the Woods—a wonderful place to write stories and catch fish.
