An inuksuk or inukshuk is a type of stone landmark or cairn built by, and for the use of, Inuit, Iñupiat, Kalaallit, Yupik, and other peoples of the Arctic region of North America. The most common inuksuk is built with stone placed upon stone. It may also appear as a single upright stone, or as cairn-like structures created by stacking boulders. These structures are found in northern Canada, Greenland, Alaska, and now Turkey Point, Norfolk County Ontario. Outside of Turkey Point, this combined region, north of the Arctic Circle, is dominated by the tundra biome and has areas with few natural landmarks. Thus, their significance for traveling identification. Turkey Point has hundreds of them along the eastern brake wall. Carbon dating is now taking place ..lol.
