What is an Inukshuk and what was/is its purpose?
Every Canadian should know that one. My wife built a tiny one in one of our flowerbeds out of paving stones we had left over from when we redid our sidewalk.
yes First gear, but describe it and tell the people out there what its purpose was for?
That's a good one, but I guess you should allow non-Canadians to have a shot at it! :DQuote:

From your clues, I'm going to say that it's a little statue that brings people luck
Is it a shelter for passing garden gnomes?
No...and....No....
I just saw a life-sized Inukshuk on the Golf Course at Radium.
Saw dozens of them on a drive near Georgian Bay this year, too.
An outdoor toilet?
