Nunavut's flag is simple by design and yet strong in its message The Inuksuk, which, in Inuktitut, means 'like a human', is a stone marker and monument, used for centuries to guide the Inuit across the barren Arctic tundra or to mark sacred and special places. The star is the Niqirtsuituq, or North Star, used for centuries as a point of navigation. It also represents the leadership of the elders. The colours, blue and gold, symbolize the riches of the land, sea and sky. Red is a reference to Canada.
