Perched on the shelves at Slippers n' Things you'll see an Inuit Drummer an aboriginal man holding his catch for the day or a team of dogs pulling their masters sled. We feature the work of aboriginal artists such as Mr. Dale Ford, Mr. Dave Terriak, Mr. John Neville and Mr. Louie Montague. We offer a wide variety of carvings both large and small.

Inukshuk is an Inuit word meaning in the image of man.

These life like figures of rock were originally built by the Inuit people on the treeless horizons as signposts to make the way easier and safer for those who followed. Today the Inukshuk has been adopted as a symmbol to remind us of our dependence on each other and the value of friendship.

To build an Inukshuk you must find the perfect balance for each rock. No one rock is more important that the other, and each creation is unique. Its strength lies in its unity. What is true about the Inukshuk it true about people. Each individual entity alone has significance. As part of a team, each of us supports and is supported by another. We are united by our commom goals, and together we are part of a greater whole.

The Inukshuk acts as a reminder to all of us, that our efforts are appreciated. The difference we make today, does count in all our tomorrows.
