About the Moose Hide Campaign
The
Moose Hide Campaign started in 2011 when Paul Lacerte and his daughter Raven were hunting near the Highway of Tears in northern British Columbia, an area where many women, particularly Indigenous women, have gone missing or been murdered. The Lacertes brought down a moose that would help feed the family for the winter, and they decided to use its hide to create the first Moose Hide Pins. It has since grown into a countrywide movement of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians from local communities, First Nations, governments, schools, colleges/universities, police forces and many other organizations – all committed to taking action to end gender-based violence. Over four million Moose Hide Pins have been distributed to communities, schools and workplaces across Canada.
