This gallery explores the different cultural identities of Native North American people from ancient times to the present.
Also illustrated in Room 26 is the effect of European contact and colonisation on Native North American communities.
Objects on display in Room 26 range from pipes in the form of animals made by the Hopewell people in 200 BC, to warrior shirts from the 18th century. Textiles, clothing, carved posts and pottery from the region are also on display.
