    Out of curiosity, why should Haida culture figure so prominently in the Olympic branding. Yes the Haida people are native to the region, but then whitey ran them off the land. Now we're supposed to appropriate their culture for Olympic imagery because... why? If we wanted honest Vancouver imagery it should be:

    1) a drunken jock from New West barfing on Granville Street
    2) a wasp family decked out in Arctyrx gear rolling through west van in their Audi
    3) an asian

    That's Vancouver.
