Lost in a vast Arctic world, an Inuit hunter comes across a lone Inuksuk, perhaps built dozens of years ago. The hunter stops to thank the ancestors and returns to his travels, happy to be lead home.

Inuksuks (the actual plural is inuksuit) are stone figures created by the first inhabitants of the Canadian north, the Inuit. The Inuit have lived in the areas now called Canada, Alaska, and Greenland for thousands of years and inuksuit can be found in all these regions. The word "inuksuk" is an Inuktitut word meaning "to act in the capacity of a human" and comes from the word "inuk" which can be translated as "human being".
