Sundogs and Inukshuks

These huge rock piles are found in the arctic and are called Inukshuks. The original Inukshuks were put together by people who inhabited the northern Canadian arctic before the Inuit or Eskimo arrived. From what I have been told, for some unknown reason the original people suddenly left the Canadian north heading east toward Greenland. That said the Inuit have continued the tradition of building Inukshuks. One thing is certain, when your are alone on the land and hundreds of miles from the nearest community, seeing these stone people on a hill or on the horizon, makes the land seem less lonely.
