Portage College Museum of Aboriginal Peoples’ Art & Artifacts

Portage College is home to over 2,000 traditional and contemporary Indigenous art pieces, including the world’s only permanent collection of works by Professional Native Indian Artists Inc.

Take a self-guided exploration of the First Nations, Métis and Inuit art displays, or call ahead to arrange an in-depth guided tour. Every piece is a window into the histories, lifeways and worldviews of Indigenous peoples from coast to coast to coast. During the school year, ask about the college’s Native Cultural Arts program – demonstrations of traditional art forms like hide tanning may be possible. Alternatively, join a workshop to craft your very own souvenir or purchase a one-of-a-kind masterpiece from the gallery store.
