Inuksuk in Auroville, 28/2/2009

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.
The rock Inuksuk embodies the spirit and persistence
of the Inuit who live and flourish in Northern Canada,
one of the world's harshest environments.
Symbolic of the act of an unselfish nomadic people,
they were built by the Inuit as guideposts
to make the way easier and safer for those who followed.
In New York , one reads under the beautiful Inuksuk of the United Nations: These stones figures,
silhouettedagainst the horizon,
welcome and guide the traveler on his or her journey
In this time of accelerating global change,
the Inuksuk could take on a meaning far beyond its use
in the Arctic regions, becoming a metaphor
for all humanity looking to find its way.
The Canadian Aurovilian Inuksuk is turned
towards the soul of Auroville and the light of the rising sun.

Venu du fonds des âges, l'Inuksuk marche
en quête d'une nouvelle conscience pour l'humanité.
