Fuzzy and the Inukshuk


When we were in Georgian Bay in Canada Fuzzy kept seeing stacked rocks and wondered what they were. Papa told him they were called Inukshuk, pronounced in-ook-shook and are stone monuments built to look like a man.

They are landmarks that were made in Canada where there were no trees or way to mark a path. Many of them were built a long time ago as road signs, to tell other travelers that someone had been here before and that they were on the right path.




Fuzzy thought that was pretty interesting. Can you see how they look kind of like a man? Can you take your blocks and make an Inukshuk?
