Why moose hide?
Lacerte, a member of the Cariboo Clan and the Carrier Nation, founded the campaign four years ago. The idea came to him while hunting with his daughter Raven.
The pair were looking for moose along the Highway of Tears, a notorious stretch of highway in Northern B.C. where 18 women have gone missing, or were found murdered.
Lacerte says they were both touched by the violence that had happened around them. While cleaning a moose later that day, they decided to use its hide for a cause.
“We tanned the moose hide and we cut it up into little squares and we pinned it on our shirts, and we started giving those squares to other men,” said Lacerte.

Upcoming events and Announcements
On behalf of the BCAFN and AFN National office, we are sharing and disseminating this information for the purpose of keeping you and your community aware of the incidents happening Regional and Nationally in our First Nations communities and territories.
The contribution to the future of successful Aboriginal women entrepreneurs is an important one.
More than ever, I am committed to supporting Indigenous women in business! As a successful serial business owner, I am asked regularly for advice and support so I decided to bring something bigger together to offer those wanting to find success through their own business.
In addition to the mentorship circles I am hosting (see attached poster), I am hosting a business startup boot camp March 11/12, 2017 in Vancouver.
The goal of the business boot camp is to bring together the entrepreneurial spirited from throughout our province for a jam packed 2 day event for Indigenous women aspiring to or starting a business – to connect, grow, and learn.
If you know of any Indigenous women looking to start a business, please share this great opportunity.
In friendship,
Teara Fraser
