A winter based adventure set in the spectacular Canadian wilderness
The First Nations peoples of Canada built stone landmarks known as Inuksuit to help them navigate across the vast wilderness areas. Today thousands remain with Inuksuit firmly established as a cultural symbol for the Inuit people. Recent reports point to a hitherto undiscovered Inukshuk in the Quebec region. The race to follow the archaeological evidence begins?
