Best Answer

Inuksuit originated in northwest America and Canada as a message form by the Inuit people. They can range from just one or two stone of a certain shape, to a carefully planned pile of stones to leave a message or simply mean "man has been here" . Inuksuit in the shape of a human is called 'Innunquaq.'

If you are ever in Vancouver, BC, Canada, visit the Museum of Anthropology at UBC for an exhibit of this and other north west native art and traditions.
