Inukshuks have become well known worldwide as a result of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. The Inukshuk, an Inuit "wayfinding symbol" has communicated a warm welcome to Olympic visitors both within the current Winter Olympic Logo as well as in person, with towering Stone Inukshuks welcoming visitors to key Olympic Venues in British Columbia.
Traditional Inukshuk vary in shape and size, and perform a diverse array of tasks. It is a symbol with deep roots in the Inuit culture, a directional marker that signifies safety, hope and friendship.
