When in Newfoundland, Magdalena and Eliza learned about Inukshuks (a term they both use, although the pronunciation is closer when Eliza says it). People in Newfoundland make a rock sculpture (I gathered that they do this most often along river banks). It's a sign that they have been in a place, so that the next person coming along can enjoy the art. Maggie and I made the one above which Eliza said looked "a bit more like a wall, but that's okay, Grammie." Maggie's contribution was the leaves woven among the rocks.
Eliza's masterpiece is in keeping with the traditional Inukshuk.
