Marking the Way

With todays words being stone stack living only a couple of blocks away from this landmark made finding a picture very easy. The Inukshuk is an iconic Canadian sculpture. These are known for being built by the native people of the Canadian Arctic. Traditionally it is believed that these were built as route markers for travelers. The Inuit built them to represent a person.
So with Monday on the way, have a great week everyone

So interesting! Great photo for the word theme. Love the bits of history you always share, I have never seen anything like this...love the back lighting.

The word is so different from any other language and the type of statue goes with the natives who use it! They would be called Indians?
