A Retail Destination on the Land

TwoChiefs carries a curated mix of Indigenous art, everyday goods, home items, personal care, apparel, children's items, and meaningful pieces by Indigenous makers and artists from across Canada. Everything is chosen intentionally.

We work with Indigenous artists from Haida Gwaii to the Fraser Valley to Treaty Three Territory, alongside brands like Native Northwest, RavenSong, and Spirit Bear Coffee. Every supplier is either Indigenous-owned or focused on authentic Indigenous design.

No mass-market knockoffs. No cultural appropriation. Just real work by real people.

Founded by Kirkland Douglas,
Cheam First Nation

TwoChiefs was founded by Kirkland Douglas, a member of Cheam First Nation and a descendant of a lineage of Chiefs. Kirkland is a two-spirit storyteller, an actor, writer, and entertainment personality known nationally from Farming for Love and The Traitors Canada (CTV/Crave).

He opened TwoChiefs to carry his family's values forward in a contemporary way: building a platform for Indigenous artists to reach people across the country, and creating a retail destination that belongs to the culture, the community, and the land it stands on.

TwoChiefs is located on Cheam First Nation reserve land, one of the only privately-founded Indigenous retail businesses operating on reserve land in the Fraser Valley.

The Two Chiefs

The name honours two Chiefs who shaped a legacy within the Pelólxw territory. Not the store brand, but the people who came before.
Grandfather
Hielamacha
Sam Douglas
Warrior on the Water · Grand Chief, Stó:lō Nation

A radical culture warrior who fought fiercely for Indigenous rights, including salmon fishing rights on the Fraser River. He served as Grand Chief of the Stó:lō Nation for 30 years, dedicating his life to protecting the land, the people, and the culture.

Father
Xéylamá:ytel
Lincoln Douglas
Working Warrior · Chief, Cheam First Nation

A businessman who brought economic opportunity, jobs, and skills to the community. Where his father fought from the outside, Lincoln worked from within, opening doors and proving that prosperity and culture could coexist on the land.

Son
Kirkland Douglas
 
Two-spirit Storyteller · Founder, TwoChiefs

Carrying both threads forward. The fire of his grandfather's activism and the entrepreneurial vision of his father, as a storyteller and entrepreneur building a platform for Indigenous artists and a retail destination that lives on the land it came from.

Our Territory

TwoChiefs operates in S'ólh Téméxw, within the lands of the Xwchíyò:m (Cheam First Nation). The Xwchíyò:m have lived here since time immemorial. These lands have never been ceded or surrendered, and the Xwchíyò:m continue to hold title to their lands, resources, and the authority to make decisions within their territory.

This work carries responsibility to community, culture, and territory. That responsibility shapes every decision made at TwoChiefs: what we carry, who we platform, and how we operate.

TwoChiefs hosts the Xwchíyò:m — Cheam First Nation Independent Business Directory — a directory of independent businesses owned and operated by members of the Xwchíyò:m (Cheam) First Nation community.
