Notes About The Poem

Inuit Tradition

In the Arctic, the skilled technique and art of building an inukshuk is passed down through generations of Inuit tradition. 

                                                       a proud lineage
                                                       a compass
                                                       ~ in the setting sun

Richard Lamoureux July 31, 2019 at 8:51 AM It’s always good to build your man with a pointy head stone to get the most accurate results. Thanks for adding some sunshine to my morning! Line Gauthier July 31, 2019 at 3:07 PM I like strong men too, Richard.
