Description
This iconic statue is the Whistler Mountain Inukshuk.
It was created for Whistler as a symbol of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in British Columbia.
An inukshuk is a stone landmark used by the Inuit and other peoples of the North American arctic regions. There are several theories about why inukshuks were created, but most likely it was used as a reference point and navigation marker for travel routes. The tall stone structure could be seen from far away to provide direction to people traveling long distances.
The inukshuk has long roots in Inuit culture, and it is typically created as a single stone in an upright manner. The word inukshuk can be translated to mean, "something which acts for or performs the function of a person."
The inukshuk has become an unofficial symbol of Canada, and it has also become a symbol of hope and friendship across the country.
Thank you so much for looking at my images. I appreciate that very much.
I am very concerned with our environment and have decided to donate any money I make from any sales of this image to the ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND.....because the Earth needs a good lawyer! We all need to speak up and support efforts to protect our environment. We will not get a second chance!
