The museum actively collects contemporary Inuit and Innu art and craft work. Recent acquisitions include this ptarmigan, carved in anorthosite by Labrador artist Gilbert Hay and a standing bear, carved in ivory by Alaskan artist Al Koonook.
Other highlights include a large collection of Inupiat caribou skin masks from Anaktuvuk Pass, Alaska, and early soapstone carvings from the eastern Canadian Arctic.
