Introducing Kebaonish Organic Respect Coffee—a luscious medium roast that's bound to energize your day in a positive way. Our Respect blend is meticulously fashioned to pay homage to both the coffee bean and the art of its preparation, linking us to a beautifully intertwined narrative of people and place—a connection to the chain of peace and friendship. Just as the Covenant Chain Wampum belt symbolizes a strong and balanced connection, this roast perfectly balances the flavours, creating a smooth and inviting taste that honours the essence of respect.

Our coffee beans are premium, certified organic, and ethically sourced from Colombia, Peru, and Guatemala. They are then roasted and packaged in Concord, Ontario.

Inspiration

Covenant Chain Wampum belt

The Covenant Chain Wampum belt is a poignant embodiment of relationships, signifying the enduring commitment between two distinct peoples—the First Nations of the Great Lakes and the European settlers. This belt reflects the profound understanding that a continuous bond of unity is essential to prioritize the preservation of their intertwined friendships and alliances, thus safeguarding the shared interests of both people and place.

Historically, the Covenant Chain Wampum belt played a significant role in forging early alliances with the British in 1761 and greatly influenced the issuance of the Royal Proclamation in 1763 by King George III. This pivotal Wampum Belt acknowledged the sovereignty of First Nations in North America and the recognition of European interests.

The roots of this belt extend back through generations, symbolizing the union of nations with a shared ideal. The significance of this grand democracy resurfaced during times of both peace and war, further cementing the renewed alliance between the Crown and the Indigenous Peoples of the Great Lakes, not only at home but also on foreign soil.

A layering of colours is the base of this piece. The colours represent layers of conversations, relationships, agreements, disagreements, inspiration, truths, hard work, willingness, and care.

The colours are bright, bold, and strong and represent unique communities. Black represents the people, their presence, the space they take up, the connections, the prominence, the importance. White represents the energy that consistently flows through all of us—passing through, on, over, and under as we interact and engage with each other—a reminder that we are all one. It is a reminder to keep the chain polished as we all work, live, and play together.
