Perhaps the most iconic artefacts in the museum is a sculpture made from yellow cedar by Bill Reid entitled ‘The Raven and the First Men’, which is depicted on Canada’s twenty-dollar note. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions of relevant ethnographic and contemporary subjects from around the World.
