 In 2007, after three years of renovation, the gallery dedicated to the display of Native American art (Gallery 356) reopened. It features ninety objects that illustrate the distinct cultural, stylistic, and functional aspects of the art created by North American peoples of various regions and time periods. The objects range from the beautifully shaped and finished stone tools known as bannerstones that date back several millennia to a mid-1970s tobacco bag made by the well-known Assiniboine/Sioux beadwork artist Joyce Growing Thunder.
