Inuksuk Point (Enukso Point, Inuksugalait) is a small peninsula on Foxe Peninsula, approximately 88.5 km (55.0 mi) from Kinngait (formerly Cape Dorset) on the southwest of Baffin Island in Nunavut, Canada.[2]
This location is renowned due to a group of more than 100 inuksuit—stone cairns built by Inuit.[3] The site has been a National Historic Site of Canada since 23 October 1969.[2][4]
