Learn about Inukshuks

  • Mi'kmaw Native Friendship Centre 2021 Brunswick Street Halifax, NS, B3K 2Y5 Canada (map)

Have you heard of an Inukshuk? Have you seen symbols of them used in the media, but weren’t sure what they represented? Inukshuks can represent food sources, offer directions to travelers, highlight dangers in a landscape, mark the loss of a loved one, or indicate a sacred area. 

Come learn about the history of Inukshuks in Inuit culture and see the one built for the Mi’kmaw Native Friendship Centre as part of the Shape This Space: Wije’winen project. Join Jonathan, the Inuit artist part of the project, alongside Frances and Dora from the Atelihai (Welcome) Inuit Program for an engaging chat over tea and bannock!
