"Inuksuk" (plural: Inuksuit also known as: innukshuk):

"things that can act in the place of a human being"

Inuksuit are found throughout the Arctic areas of Alaska, Arctic Canada (now called "Nunavut") and Greenland. Inuksuit have helped save lives in the harsh arctic environment. They could be used to help Inuit people - to show the way when travelers were a long way home; to warn of very dangerous places; to show where food was stored; to show the sacred places; and, most important, to act as helpers for hunting caribou.
