Very interesting.
Here is a link to a poetry about an inukshuk – for children and students.

Sally -
Lovely post! Our local community newspaper would like to reprint this in the February 2010 issue. Inukshuks are all the rage where I live due in part to upcoming Olympics. Several neighbours have inukshuk’s on their property – one is decked out like a fisherman. !

It’s always nice to get a mention now and again. The book for kids sounds like a beautiful one. Wish my son were a little younger – I would buy it for him. The north is such an amazing place!!

The poem is very beautiful, and the book sounds lovely, too. It will be right up my little stone collector’s alley.

What great pictures, Marjorie, on your brother’s site! They give a good sense of the kind of landscape Inukshuks are found in!

The background to this story is fascinating – I will definitely look out this book for my boys. My brother created something similar to the inukshuks when he was in Greenland in 2004 – if you look at the bottom right photo in this link, you’ll see – I must ask him if he realised he was following in a long tradition…
