that is lovely. i thought you were talking about a polar bear i just saw on t.v. named that. he, he. he went to live in Canada.

What does the symbol mean?

Awesome.

That was so nice of you!

Loosely translated it means "we were here"
Supposedly (not being Inuit you shouldn't quote me), each group could be ID'ed by the style of cairn they built. Its as famous for the Inuit as the Totem Pole is for the Salish (sp) Natives on the West coast of Canada.

Stunning. What a wonderful gift to bestow.

Not knowing what a Inukshuk is, I will have to research it. I learn so much from all you great people!

EDIT: did a quick search and this is a quick reference. WOW!

Your Inukshuk is just lovely, I think the lady you made it for will love it.

Inukshuk's are mainly used for creating landmarks, the arctic tundra area is vast with few landmarks to keep you going in the right direction. The arms of the Inukshuk point the path to go. They can be tiny or large, made with rocks that are found in the area (whether they are rounded, flat, etc., just whatever you can find close by).

Awesome

Wow, I can't imagine just popping that out as a quick project.

Love the symbolism. Thanks for all the explainations.
