This month is also an opportunity to think critically about the stories Canada tells about itself: whose histories are taught, whose voices are centred, and what it means to move beyond symbolic recognition toward meaningful change.

National Indigenous History Month is a time to reflect on how Indigenous histories are often treated as something confined to the past, despite the fact that Indigenous peoples continue to shape every part of life across these lands today.

Moose Hide Campaign Day began as a grassroots movement to end violence against women and children, grounded in Indigenous teachings and community leadership.

The moose hide pin is a symbol of commitment to honour, respect, and take action against gender-based violence.

[CLAS @clasbc]

At CLAS, we see how violence and inequality are shaped by broader systems, and we work to ensure people have access to legal protections and support when their rights are at risk.
