Landmarks are defining features in the land that traditionally play an important role in Inuit topographical understandings of their land and its resources. They are important orienting features to keep one's bearing while travelling and to determine where one is located at any given moment[1].
As a figure in this Knowledge-Land-Scape, "Landmarks" perform the materialization of certain findings and emergent insights along the way. They are not always obvious when you trace only the three main cuts of the knowledge-land-scape. They rather reveal themselves in response to specific invitations, practices or actions taken.
As such, the insight that these landmarks have to offer are always particular to the paths and trails that lead towards them, and their meaning materializes in relation to where you come from, where are you going and what decisions you have made on the way- both before, during and after you have entered this scape.
It seems that this Landmark takes a multitude of shapes, depending on from which direction you approach it.
“Stay with the Trouble” to learn more about how such multiplicity is performed in this Knowledge-Land-Scape.
