It may specifically be a direct reference to the {{wp|Stonehenge}} monument from the Middle {{wp|Neolithic}} of {{wp|Wiltshire}}, England. Stonjourner's behavior may reference the relationship between {{wp|Archaeoastronomy and Stonehenge|Stonehenge and astronomy}}, and the fact that there is evidence that this monument used to be visited once every year by a prehistoric culture, either in December or January.

Stonjourner may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|inuksuk}}. The crosses on its legs may be a reference to {{wp|runes}} from early {{wp|Germanic languages|Germanic culture}}, which had a prevalent impact on Britain during its {{wp|Anglo-Saxon}} era. Combined with the dirt, they resemble hiking boots.
