We are in the home stretch now! The Gr. 2 kids have been learning about Inuksuks and their meanings. Inuksuk act as a guide, they act in the place of a person. They may mean "Welcome" or "We were here". They may act as a navigational guide pointing out which way to go. They may point out good hunting grounds or indicate that food is nearby. They may be in the shape of a window and mean "look at this place".

| This means welcome or we were here |
The kids have been learning about Inuksuk, the Inuit people and Nunavut during this unit. As practise for their final project, they have been writing about the meaning of different Inuksuk and creating their own. See below for their work. The top box is information about real Inuksuk and the bottom box is an Inuksuk and a meaning that they created on their own.
