This INUKSHUK (Pronounced IN-OOK-SHOOK) are majestic human like cairns errected in ther image of man by the INUIT of the Canadian Artic as guides, compasses and milestones in the snow permafrost regions that offered few natural landmarks.  INUKSHUKS were errected along ancient conduits of human travel to offer a physical manifestation of choice in an uncertain world and offer reassurance, nourishment and trust in to the viewer.  They also offer spiritual guidance with a deep cultural significance to the INUIT as directional markers that signify safety, hope and freindship from generations of travelers.  Today, they remind us that we have many choices while exploring the path of your life and that we are never alone.  When contemplating this ancient symbol of human compassion, we are reminded to share our experience and hospitality generously with those on the path now and in the future.
