An Inuksuk symbolizes the close bond humans feel with the earth. Built out of natural stones, the inuksuk must be carefully stacked, each stone chosen and positioned with precision. In building a solid inuksuk, capable of withstanding strong arctic winds and stormy weather, its builder must ensure that all the stones work together harmoniously. This harmony reflected the balance that the Inuit strove to achieve in life – as hunters, for example, the Inuit ate what they caught and used the rest to make clothing and shelter - a careful balance between humans and nature. Today, we use this symbol to represent a cooperative venture where many people have worked together for a common goal. It is also a favourite symbol for a wedding or anniversary gift, as two people join together on the right path of life, working together and setting common goals. A full, 1-page write-up on the inuksuk will be included with every purchase.
