Shared Experiences
“I'm a white, straight, male with the privilege of having no history of violence in my family. I didn't think I'd feel belonging in this course, but this might be one of the most impactful learning experiences I could have done, for my family, as a father, and as an ally who never asked myself who I am, or where I come from.”
Aaron Lambie, CEO of Nisto, a social impact reporting platform
“I really appreciated how the truth about colonization and MMIWG2S+ was shared. As a person who lived along the Highway of Tears, I was personally affected by the issue. All the time suggested for reflection felt good. I bookmarked all of the resources from this course and have already been using them in conversations with my friends. ”
Mal Kryklywyj, Lekwungen Territory
“A heartfelt thank you to the Moose Hide Campaign team for allowing me to embark on this transformative journey. This course has enriched my understanding of the campaign's deep roots, offering diverse perspectives that will enhance how we organize our in-office event to promote the Moose Hide Campaign next year. It has been enlightening to learn how to effectively convey the spirit and meaning of this important movement. I greatly appreciate the course's approach, which emphasizes self-reflection and understanding our inner selves. It serves as a powerful reminder that "we are medicine," capable of fostering positive change in our communities by preventing, interrupting, responding to, and healing violence. The course's structure, with its clear division into key parts—Introduction, Knowledge, Action, and Harvest—makes the content and materials easily accessible and understandable. It is interactive and engaging, making it a pleasure to learn so much in a short time.”
