Taleawtxw Aboriginal Capital Corporation (TACC) was established in April 1992 by the Taleawtxw Economic Development Association (TEDA) commissioners. The TEDA Commissioners were chosen from the 54 Coast Salish Nations and the UNN in order to form and govern TACC. It was Dennis Alphonse, one of the founding Directors from Cowichan who suggested the name the Taleawtxw, which in Halqemeylem means "money house".
TACC is mandated by the 54 Coast Salish Nations to provide Small Business Financing and support services to Aboriginals (Status Indians, Métis and UNN members) in the traditional Coast Salish Nation Territories, as well as the Campbell River, Comox and Cape Mudge. TACC has supported the success of over a thousand
Aboriginals in business throughout the Coast Salish Nation territories since 1992
