May 11th is kick off for the Moose Hide Campaign.
Here’s a link to register:
Moose Hide Campaign Day is a day of ceremony where all Canadians are called to join together to take a stand against violence towards women and children and to take practical steps for our collective journey of reconciliation.
Join us on Thursday, May 11, 2023!
Livestream from Victoria, BC
We will be live-streaming our in-person ceremony from the Victoria Conference Centre, in Victoria, BC. The ceremony will feature a welcome message from Raven Lacerte and Dominic Paul, keynote by Brandi Morin, as well as several inspiring speakers. All registrants will have access to the livestream broadcast from anywhere on Turtle Island!
Workshops
Learn more about the issue of gender-based violence from Facilitators who lead discussions and share stories of healing and change. All registrants will have the opportunity to take part in the remote online workshops, with in-person workshops taking place in Victoria, BC.
Our K-12 workshops are pre-recorded and will be available for educators to review prior to bringing into their classrooms. Our workshops include a PDF with activities and discussion questions along with the estimated time frame needed to complete the workshop.
Fast to End Violence
As in common in many Indigenous cultures, fasting is a symbol of commitment, and a way to deepen your intention. We encourage everybody to participate in the fast from sunrise to sunset on Moose Hide Campaign Day.
Walk to End Violence
Across Canada, there will be hundreds of community organized walks. If there are none taking place in your area, you can watch the livestream of the Walk to End Violence taking place at the Legislature in Victoria, BC.
Sunrise & Fast Breaking Ceremonies
An important part of Moose Hide Campaign Day is the Sunrise and Fast-breaking Ceremonies. The Sunrise Ceremony from the East Coast of Canada starts the day with intention. You can watch the ceremony when the sun rises in your location on Turtle Island. For those participating in the Fast to End Violence, there will be a livestream of the ceremony from Victoria, BC.

This reflects my decision to use my own name instead of a colonial name.
It is appropriate to address me as Miskanahk (miss caun ack) which translates to Turtle. Give yourself a break if you call me Suzanne, not the end of the world.
Thank you for understanding and willingness to join me on this journey of reclamation.
