An inuksuk on a hill in Arizona
Katrina Kierstead builds an inuksuk on the hills of Goodyear, Ariz. Kierstead has a home in the American desert state, nearly 5,000 kilometres southwest of Pangnirtung where she works as a home-care nurse. Kierstead said that while on a hike recently, she decided to build the inuksuk because she was thinking about her family and fellow community members from the North. “I built the inuksuk because I love what it represents and a huge part of my heart is always in Pangnirtung,” she said.

Cultural appropriation?
Let’s not mess things up for people here. Edmonton Eskimos was a badass name. Now you want people to change the way they feel about inuksuit? Edmonton Eskimos was awesome. Now they changed the name Edmonton elks. Some stupid pantsy screw things up for the rest of the world. Don’t be like them.
Comments like these are more often reactive than reflective, which is to say persons who do this rarely understand the terms they wield, but simply enjoy the sense of power they get from wielding them.
We called them cairns first and you stole them from us, the Scots!!

Cultural appreciation?
If it’s pointing towards Pangnirtung, I know which way to go.
He said…”Good idea.”
That is too awesome!! So Tabber-naaq cool.💖
Represent!!!!🤘💖
know that’s a better looking inuksuk instead of the commonly used inuksuk which they don’t even know what it means.
the human like inuksuk with four limbs means that there was a murder took place here in the spot. people tend to use that without knowing what it means.
there are many tipe of inuksuk with a different meanings.
