The Inukshuk is a well known symbol that Kanata has promoted as part of our Native Artist Collection for several years. The Inukshuk has become even more recognized since being selected as the symbol for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games.
For centuries, massive stone figures built in the image of a human, have stood silhouetted on the treeless Arctic horizons.
These Inukshuks (pronounced IN-OOK-SHOOK), erected by Inuit people, were to serve as guides, giving direction to fellow travelers. They pointed the way or showed a passage that was better and safer.
They stand today as symbols of our responsibility to one another and our dependence on one another.

There are considerable environmental benefits to purchasing a Kanata ECO friendly fleece product, using Repreve yarn, created by Unifi, a U.S. based producer of polyester and nylon.
Repreve yarn is made from 100% recycled content.
-made responsibly, to make a difference and create a sustainable textile solution.
Post industrial and post consumer waste, including pop bottles (P.E.T.), is ground up and melted into plastic chips from which new fibers are extruded and then spun into yarns. The yarn is 100% recycled which provides huge benefits to the earth and the environment:
* All this recycled waste, including millions of pop bottles, is saved from going into our landfills.
* As a result of the manufacturing and handling processes that are eliminated in the production of recycled fleece, every product using Repreve yarn conserves petroleum-based resources by offsetting the need to produce virgin polyester.
* On average every pound of Repreve polyester yarn conserves the equivalent of half a gallon of gasoline.
In addition, the purchase of a Kanata ECO fleece product gives back to the environment. As a member of 1% For The Planet, Unifi has pledged to donate one percent of annual Repreve yarn sales to "reprieve" our environment. Customers can make a difference by casting a vote for how this is distributed using the code provided on the hangtag attached to their product.
