The Inuksuk (from the morphemes Inuk “person” and suk “substitute”), called more precisely an Inunnguaq (“imitation of a person”), is a man-made stone cairn representing a human figure that traditionally serves as a landmark and instrument of navigation by the Canadian Inuit to guide their way across Canada’s oftentimes featureless Arctic.

The Inuksuk represents the strength, persistence, survival, leadership, and motivation of the Canadian Inuit who live and flourish in one of the world’s harshest environments.

Modern Canadian meanings include unselfishness, cooperation, hope, friendship, hospitality, and welcoming of the world.

In celebration of the spirit of the ancient Inuit who created the Inuksuk to collaborate with others towards the common goal of survival in the northern circumpolar regions, we offer for your perusal and purchase our warm fur boots and other related products on our WarmFurBoots.com website in an effort to help you achieve mankind’s goal of keeping warm while engaging in outdoor activities in cold climates.
