Here is an old post of mine which explains a bit about the label and Eskimo art, in general.

The official Canadian web site says the company was established 18 years ago and the igloo sticker approved as the official emblem. This piece has their igloo tag so I would assume they made it.
From their site:
GalleryInuit Art of Canada, established 18 years ago, is recognized
and authorized by the Canadian Government to distribute and promote
Inuit (Eskimo) art.
We are wholesalers/ distributors of high quality Inuit sculptures from south Baffin Island (Cape Dorset, Iqaluit).
Each sculpture is hand carved and comes with a certificate of authenticity
(the " Igloo " tag) from the Canadian government.
The sculptures are made from serpentine, which is a hard soapstone.There
are endless varieties of forms and subjects: bears, walruses, whales, birds, inukshuiik, narwhals and more.
