"Mapping the Multicoloured in Inukshuk in Canada's Multicultural Landscape" (2009) is a study of the sixty year history of the inukshuk s cultural appropriations from humanoid-rock-formation to Canadian-Nunavut-Olympics icon. As an M.A. Major Research Paper, the study traces the inukshuk variant in Canadian visual culture from its Inuit source in southern Canada to its cultural appropriations in popular culture, state insignia and in the monuments and stone formations that thread the Canadian wilderness into an east to west tundra simulacra. It focuses on issues of cultural appropriation and Canadian identity representation, which are significant for current cultural property relations between nation-state, the Fourth World and the Olympics.
