Co-founders Paul Lacerte and his daughter Raven found inspiration for the campaign in 2011 while hunting on their traditional Carrier territory near the Highway of Tears. They decided to create the first moose hide pins from the hide of the moose they hunted, reflecting on the sorrow of the many missing or murdered women, particularly Indigenous women.

From this small start, the campaign has now grown into a well-known anti-violence movement that includes thousands of communities, schools, and organizations nationwide. Over two million moose hide pins have been distributed in Canada and North America.
