Educational curriculum from an exhibit at the National Museum of the American Indian. This exhibition, co-organized by NMAI and the Michigan State University Museum, from October 19, 1997 to January 4, 1998, explored the importance of quilt-making in Native Hawaiian and North American Indian communities.
