Inukshuk is an Inuit word meaning "in the image of a man". This one is located
at English Bay, Vancouver BC and was a gift to the city from the
government of the Northwest Territories, following Expo '86.


Inscription on the plaque reads in part:
"Ancient symbols of Inuit culture traditionally used as landmarks and
navigation aids, this grey granite statue representing a human form
with outstretched arms is a well-known symbol in Canada of northern
hospitality and friendship."
