What is the Moose Hide Campaign?
The Moose Hide Campaign is a grassroots movement of Indigenous and non-Indigenous men and boys who not only stand against violence towards Indigenous women and girls, but who make a promise to never hurt women or girls.
Why a moose hide pin?
“Co-founders Raven and Paul Lacerte were inspired to start the Moose Hide Campaign on an annual moose-hunt eleven years ago. The hunt took place on their traditional territory along the Highway of Tears in British Columbia, where so many Indigenous women were murdered or went missing.” (source: https://moosehidecampaign.ca/a-gift-of-medicine/ )
Wearing the moose hide pins signifies commitment to honour, respect, and protect the women and children in your life and to work together to end violence against women and children in our communities.
Why is this important?
A moose hide pin sparks at least five conversations about standing up against violence towards women and children.
In 2022 the Moose Hide Campaign celebrated gifting its three millionth pin.
