Look! An Inuksuk

1 You are walking in the land of snow. There is no road to follow. There are no trees or hills to help you know where you are. Far away, you see a tall pile of stones. One stone in the pile seems to be pointing. When you come closer, you see that the pile of stones is very large! Who built it? And why is it here?

2 It is an inuksuk (ih-nuk-shuk). And it is telling you something . . .

3 An inuksuk is a sign made by the Inuit people of Alaska. It is built of strong stones so it can last through stormy weather.

4 Each inuksuk says something about the place where it stands. Maybe a hunter had good luck there, or food is hidden nearby. Or, it may point to a safe way to go. Sometimes an inuksuk might just show that you are not alone. Someone went before you.

5 You look where the inuksuk is pointing and smile. It is showing you the way home.

What is the topic of the article?

• getting lost

• playing in snow

• stormy weather in Alaska

• Inuit signs built from stones
