This June, during National Indigenous History Month, Kebaonish is inviting entrepreneurs and business leaders across the country to align their values with their actions and become part of a movement grounded in responsibility, relationship, and cultural resurgence.
We’re proud to launch our Kebaonish Give-Back Campaign, a national initiative rooted in local commitment, to raise $10,000+ in support of Indigenous adult language revitalization.
$2 from every coffee and tea purchase will go directly to on-the-ground programming led by one of our closest community partners—Tsi Tyónnheht Onkwawén:na (pronounced Gee Dee Yee Own Het Own Gwa Wen Nah) (TTO), located right here in the region where Kebaonish is based. Learn more about TTO
This partnership isn’t abstract. It’s grounded in shared geography, shared values, and a shared commitment to ensuring Indigenous languages continue to thrive in the places they have always belonged.
Language Revitalization Is a Nation-Building Act
When Indigenous languages are strengthened, so is Canada.
These are not simply Indigenous dialects, they are sacred languages that carry ancestral knowledge, cultural worldviews, and deeply rooted systems of relationship and responsibility. They have shaped Indigenous Nations for generations and continue to offer valuable teachings about life, governance, and our shared connection to the land.
Supporting language revitalization is not about charity, it’s about investing in cultural excellence, contributing to intergenerational resilience, and committing to a more inclusive, honest national identity. When businesses take part, they help build an economy that reflects the values of equity, truth, and respect.
Adult Learners Are the Catalysts
This campaign shines a spotlight on adult language learners—those with the power to bring the language home and breathe new life into it. These are the parents, aunties, uncles, Elders, educators, and community leaders whose fluency ensures the language is not just learned but lived.
Every dollar raised helps create ripple effects that extend through families, communities, and generations.
Why Kebaonish?
Because we are more than a tea and coffee company. We are a platform for cultural resurgence, relationship building, and intergenerational empowerment.
Every bag of coffee and tea we sell in June contributes to our $10,000+ goal, supporting TTO and adult learners right here in our shared backyard. Because every cup should do more than taste good. It should do good.
When your business chooses Kebaonish, you’re choosing to be part of a larger story—one of community renewal, economic responsibility, and leadership that aligns with Truth and Economic Reconciliation.

A Stronger Future Starts Here
This campaign isn’t about filling a gap—it’s about strengthening what has always been powerful. Indigenous languages, identities, and knowledge systems are essential to the cultural, ecological, and spiritual fabric of this land.
And when businesses stand behind revitalization, they help shape a Canada that leads with integrity, accountability, and inclusion.
Every cup brewed this month moves us closer to a reality where Indigenous Peoples speak their languages freely, proudly, and in every space; including the home, the classroom, the boardroom, and the marketplace.
Let’s build that future together—one cup, one voice, one powerful investment at a time.
