The Comeback Society

The Comeback Society (TCS), a non-profit organization led by Indigenous peoples and focused on promoting Indigenous voices and culture. TCS is dedicated to advancing food sovereignty, cultural programming, cultural collaborations, land-based education, and education and training. TCS is organized into five sections, each of which is a place where knowledge can be exchanged and interwoven with one another. This approach strengthens and maximizes the education and community engagement structure, creating a strong foundation for the organization. TCS believes in the value of hands-on learning and oral education, which is a traditional Indigenous pedagogy. They strive to make all intersections of their programming teachable, interactive, and relevant to their community. This approach ensures that everyone, young and old, can participate and engage with the programming. The organization is maintained and sustained by a 70% Indigenous employee ratio, and their goal is to have 100% Indigenous leadership. This allows Indigenous peoples to lead and become change makers in their community, be at decision-making tables, and support the work towards truth and reconciliation.
