Erected to make the way easier and safer for those who follow, an Inukshuk represents safety and nourishment, trust and reassurance. The Inukshuk guided people across the frozen tundra and gave them hope in barren places to handle hardships they encountered. These primitive, stone images showed the way ahead... pointing you in the direction you wanted to go. Had they been able to speak, I am certain they would have said... "Here is the road. It is safe. You can meet the demands that this path holds. You can reach your goals and attain your vision of where you want to be."
sure. you see stacked rocks used many places to mark trails when there's nothing else to use, like above treeline where there's no trees to put a paint blaze on. Called "cairns" around here and I'm sure the scouts hiking in those areas learn about them.That's interesting Dennis - Kind of like trail markers. You know you're still on a marked trail when you see one.
