Paul Lacerte is a member of the Nadleh Whut’en Band and belongs to the Carrier First Nation in northern BC. He is a traditional cultural practitioner and spends as much time as possible in his home Carrier territory, learning, laughing, hunting, and gathering.

Since then, over 3 Million Moose Hide pins have been distributed and the Campaign has spread to over 2,500 communities and organizations across Canada and the US.

Paul is a Founding Managing Partner with Raven Indigenous Capital Partners (the first Indigenous owned financial intermediary in Canada), the former Vice-Chair of the Vancouver Foundation Board of Directors, a former foster parent, an adoptive parent, the former Board Chair for Reconciliation Canada, and a former representative to the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.
