Inukshuk Monument at English Bay
The Inukshuk is an Inuit monument at English Bay in Vancouver.
Is is a striking rock monument that is very popular. It is fantastic to take photos in front of Vancouver's English Bay in the background.
Inukshuks are a symbol from the north polar region of the world especially for the Inuit people in northern Canada. The First Nations people around Vancouver did not make Inukshuks.
In the Inuit language the name Inukshuk means "in the likeliness of a human". Every Inukshuk is unique in shape because they were made of whatever rocks were near that location.
Inukshuks are used to mark a place for navigation or as an important location such as a burial ground or important location. The arms and feet, when pointed in a certain direction indicated the way to go for navigation.
