Two Inuksuk were recently built on the North shores of Arviat related to the 2014 Global Dignity Day celebrations. Inuksuk are stone landmarks or cairns built by humans, used by the Inuit, Inupiat, Kalaallit, Yupik, and other peoples of the Arctic region of North America. The inuksuk may have been used for navigation, as a point of reference, a marker for travel routes, fishing places, camps, hunting grounds, places of veneration, drift fences used in hunting or to mark a food cache.
