Inukshuk

The Inukshuk, a native american symbol, which means "likeness of person".

The Inukshuk, which means "likeness of person" was first used by the Inuit People to mark trails, indicate caches of food, locate nearby settlements as well as good places to hunt or fish. Most of the canadian arctic is dominated year round by permafrost and only has a few natural landmarks which could be used for orientation, thats why Inukshuk are used as directional marker.

The rock Inukshuk embodies the spirit and persistence of the Inuit who live and flourish in Northern Canada, one of the world harshest environments.
Inukshuk's represent strenght, leadership and motivation, some of the reasons why it was selected as a symbol for the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, Canada.
