Inuksuk in Oslo

Earlier this month, Nunavik’s master artist Mattiusi Iyaituk built an inuksuk in Oslo, similar to the one he built last year at the Canadian embassy in Iceland.

The stone came from Gjoa Haven and was designed by Joseph Suqslakm.

Iyaituk, who is president of the Inuit Art Foundation, assembled the inuksuk which was shipped to Norway in 13 pieces.

The inuksuk stands on the grounds of the Norwegian Maritime Museum near the Gjoa, the ship used by Roald Amundsen to sail through the Northwest Passage more than 100 years ago.
