The Inuksuit were stone landmarks used by Inuit people for directions, warnings, and as markers for good hunting and fishing spots. They were shaped like human figures to mean "likeness of a person" and provided guidance to travelers. When hunting caribou, long lines of Inuksuit were used to confuse and trap the animals between the lines so hunters could kill them with bows and spears at the end.
