Inuksuk or inunnguaq? An inuksuk is a stack of rocks used by the Inuit as hunting and navigational aids or to mark the spiritual landscape. They have been found at archaeological sites near Baffin Island dating from 2400 to 1800 B.C. The inuksuk is often confused with human-shaped stacks of rocks known as inunnguaq, symbolizing the presence of humans or the path toward home.
