The Inuksuk
By Champion in : Champion Culture // Apr 21 2010
This Inuksuk was built at a strategic juncture on one of Paul Landry‘s favorite dog sled routes between Iqaluit and Kimmirut (in Nunavut). Mr Paul Landry is a Champion.
The word inuksuk means “something which acts for or performs the function of a person.”
The Inuksuk symbolizes why we believe we are the kind of company that puts the success of our partners first, accounting for the needs, concerns and aspirations of everyone involved in our company.
At Champion, the Inuksuk constantly reminds us that all of our partners have significant contributions to each other’s success. That is why we strive to deliver the best experience possible to all our partners and work towards greater coalition and cooperation.
This is the Champion promise.
Despite the predominant English spelling as inukshuk, both the Government of Nunavut and the Government of Canada through Indian and Northern Affairs Canada are promoting the Inuit-preferred spelling inuksuk.
A structure similar to an inuksuk but meant to represent a human figure, called an inunnguaq ( “imitation of a person”, plural inunnguat), has become widely familiar to non-Inuit. However, it is not the most common type of inuksuk. It is distinguished from inuksuit in general.
