OTTAWA – An internal audit says more than 130 Indigenous artworks were unaccounted for in a collection managed by Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada.
The report, dated last November, was published earlier this month on the department’s website and looks into the practices of the Indigenous Art Centre.
The audit notes the collection managed by that body consists of more than 5,000 artworks from First Nations, Métis and Inuit artists, valued at roughly $14.4 million.
