The mysterious stone figures known as Inuksuit can be found throughout the circumpolar world. Inukshuk, the singular of Inuksuit, means the likeness of a human, in the Inuit language.
An Inukshuk can be small or large, a single rock, several rocks balanced on each other, round boulders or flat. Built from whatever stones are at hand, each one is unique.
An Inukshuk in the form of a human being is called an Inunngnna. This type of structure forms the basis of the logo of the 2010 Winter Olympics, designed by Vancouver artist Elena Rivera McGregor. It is widely acknowledged that this design pays tribute to the Inukshuk that stands at Vancouver's English Bay, which was created by artisan Alvin Kanak of Rankin Inlet, Northwest Territories.
Friendships and the welcoming of the world are the meanings of both the English Bay structure and the 2010 Winter Olympics emblem.

January 16, 2010, I saw 'Ziggy' (European accent) making Inuksuit near Science World. I asked him, "How do you do that? Do you need glue?"
He said, "You balance the stones to make the Inukshuk. No glue needed."
