Inuit



This is a terrific little animated commercial to advertise the BBC's coverage of the upcoming Winter Olympic Games. Thanks to Daily Animation for finding another gem. That stone statue is called a Inukshuk and it was used as markers so hunters could find their way on the treeless tundra. It's a uniquely Nothern Canadian icon. I lived many years in the far north and everytime I see one of these I get that quiet feeling in my soul.
