Talk by Peter Irniq outside McNutt Hall
Peter Irniq, artist and former commissioner of Nunavut, spoke about the
Inuksuk, or “likeness of a person,” that he created in the days leading up to
the Our Land exhibition opening events. An Inuksuk is a stone figure
that acts as a beacon for travelers in Canada’s north, symbolizing the
strength, leadership, and motivation of the Inuit. Irniq built the
Inuksuk on the lawn in front of McNutt Hall, which houses Dartmouth’s
Admissions Office. Every spring and summer, thousands of high school students
visit campus via McNutt as they contemplate finding their own way.
