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.
