Quebec City: Charles Bray posing By Inukshuk Monument in which its located in the garden of the Parliament as you could see in the picture and close to the statue of Rene Levesque. The stone panels representing different eras will be framed by stone pillars supporting and forming a base on which will sit a bronze statue. The strength of Aboriginal peoples' beliefs is drawn from spirit guides who are represented by the wolf, the bear, the elk, and the cougar in the bronze statue. Each of the creatures has characteristics held in high esteem. For the Wolf, high intelligence, courage, and family values were attributes that a man would strive to emulate, in a Bear, tremendous strength and power would be a goal. The Elk, also known as the Red Deer, or Wapati, is fleet of foot and has very sharp senses, yet is powerful in battle. The Cougar was admired for its stealth, ferocity, and speed.
