Looks like a a statue of an Indian woman in a Museum.

Is it in a museum/exhibition dedicated to North-American Indians?

Like Hans, I immediately thought of Native American, but I kept finding sites offering figurines for sale! GinnyStar put me on the right track with her question about Sacagawea, after which it didn't take long to find this (you have to scroll down a bit for the right picture):
