What are Virtual Quilt Displays?

The National AIDS Memorial has worked to connect thousands of hand-sewn Quilt panels to a massive collection of digitally stored mementos and anecdotes that panel makers have shared about their loved ones. 
These Virtual Quilt Displays allow organizations to seamlessly share the stories and messages of the AIDS Quilt with their communities.

Native Lives Lost to AIDS

This collection honors the lives and stories of Native Americans lost to AIDS. It features 16 Quilt blocks that contain panels made to honor loved ones from the American Indian, Alaska Native, and the Native Hawaiian communities.  

Working with community partners, including the Indian Health Service, Kua`aina Associates, The National Native HIV Network, Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board, and Hawai`i Health & Harm Reduction, visitors experienced the beautiful cultural symbols sewn into the panels that are representative of the Native community.
