A stone figure, resembling a person, standing near the top of Whistler Mountain. An inunnguaq, or inukshuk, is an iconic Canadian symbol.

It is pronounced inutsuk in Nunavik and the southern part of Baffin Island. In many of the central Nunavut dialects, it has the etymologically related name inuksugaq. It is a symbol of the 2010 Winter Games.
