Join us on February 11th as we come together online for a day of action, inspiration, ceremony and fasting.
This is the 10th year of our campaign. Right now, with rates of violence rising, our work is more important than ever. We invite you to come together for this virtual event and day of action and commit to see an end to violence towards women and children. To grow closer through the experience of fasting and ceremony. To learn and connect from our homes, workplaces, schools, universities and communities.
Our event website is now live! Register now to gain access to our line-up of youth and main workshops, the link to the livestream, videos from Elders on fasting and other teachings and much more information and resources.
On Moose Hide Campaign day, expect…
- Ceremony
- Words from our co-founders
- Keynote speakers, including Swil Kanim, Michèle Audette and Tia Wood
- Hearing from Elders
- Workshops (click here for more information on the workshops)
- The opportunity to take part in the one-day fast
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic this will be a fully virtual event, combining our national and provincial gatherings into one bigger event. We hope we can recreate a similar memorable shared experience, one where even more of you from across the country will be able to take part.

*We will be streaming a daybreak ceremony when the sun touches Turtle Island in the east, and a fast-breaking ceremony when the sun leaves Turtle Island in the west. This livestream will be available via our event microsite and social media channels. Participants in other time zones can view the Daybreak Ceremony livestream in the morning when they start their day.
** Moose Hide Campaign Day is a day of ceremony and gathering. A central aspect of the day is the request from the Moose Hide Campaign family for important members of the community to act as witnesses of the day. Witnesses will be called forward at the beginning of the day and at the end of the day – and after the Fast-Breaking Ceremony the witnesses are invited to share a few words about the day. Please ensure you join us at 5:29pm PST to help support and complete the work and ceremony of Moose Hide Campaign Day on February 11th, 2021.
