    Inuksuk (Inukshuk)
    Figures made of stone called inuksuit (singular inuksuk, also spelled inukshuk) are among the most important objects created by the INUIT, who were the first people to inhabit portions of Alaska, Arctic Canada and Greenland. The term inuksuk (in Inuktitut) means "to act in the capacity of a human." It is an extension of the word inuk meaning "a human being." While some archaeologists speculate that the inuksuk is a recent artifact that came into being when the missionaries appeared in the Arctic, some inuksuit have been found contiguous to Palaeoeskimo sites ( 2400-1800 BC - see PREHISTORY) in the Mingo Lake region of southwest BAFFIN Island.
