The inukshuk is a traditional stone structure used by the Inuit and other Indigenous peoples of the Arctic regions of Canada. These structures are typically found in northern Canada, particularly in areas such as the Nunavut territory and the Northwest Territories. Inukshuks are often built in various shapes and sizes, serving as landmarks, navigational aids, or symbols of friendship and community. They have also gained cultural significance beyond the Arctic, becoming recognized symbols of Canada as a whole.
