Peoples of the Arctic-Eskimo- The Eskimos were some of the most talented Native Americans. Their intricate carvings of ivory are the pride and joy of the museum. From tools used in survival, to miniature animals, this collection is fabulous. |

The Amazon- These exhibits are some of the most colorful. With the rain forest mural, a reconstructed hut, and a dugout canoe, South America comes to you. Featherwork that is amazing was used to created ceremonial clothing. |
