Coast Salish dancer and fashion designer Tyler Jacobs tells us of his journey to reclaiming his two-spirit heritage and knowledge. He sewed his first regalia at age 14 for himself, and he smudges the regalias he now sews for others. When he puts on a woman’s regalia, he frees his other spirit. His ancestral Skxwxu7mesh name is Sxela’pchtn and his traditional values give him strength.

Biography:

Tyler Jacobs comes from the Coast Salish, West Coast and Mohawk Nations and was born in Coast Salish Territory on April 21, 1985. He is a proud fashion designer and business owner. He also teaches dance to Indigenous youth and is honoured to be two-spirit.
