What is the Moose Hide Campaign?

Moose Hide campaign day is may 16, 2024. take actionThe Moose Hide Campaign is a grassroots movement of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people who are standing up against violence towards women and children.

The 2024 Moose Hide Campaign educational awareness event is being held on Thursday, May 16 from 10 a.m. to noon in the North Oshawa Library's Fireside Reading Room. The event will include a smudge, hand drum, performance by Kylie Soundy and a jingle dress demonstration for a healing dance. Light refreshments will be provided.

Wearing the moose hide signifies your 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 addition to distributing moose hide pins, the Campaign hosts both regional and national gatherings which include a day of fasting. People of all ages, backgrounds, and gender identities are welcome to attend Moose Hide Campaign events.

To honour the thousands of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people, we invite you to visit the Library in person to create your own faceless doll. The Faceless Dolls project was started by Native Women's Association of Canada (NWAC) in 2012 as a way to give a voice to the voiceless. Each doll represents an Indigenous woman who has become a ‘faceless’ victim of a heinous crime, and to raise awareness to the epidemic of missing and murdered women and girls in Canada.
