By arranging rocks in a human shape, Inuit people"showed the way" for those who followed, in unmarked, uninhabited, often unknown territory. Though they rely on a similar architecture, each Inukshuk is unique, made by and for a specific locale. This practice exists in many other regions of the world. In the Rocky Mountains, home to the CRM, mountain trekkers and climbers fashion rock 'cairns' to guide those who follow. These spontaneous sculptures give meaning to unfamiliar landscapes and speak to the interdependence of human beings and their surroundings.
