I'm not so sure about the indigenous people thing. I don't think I would have taken that route to try to impress the rest of the world.

why not?

they are a part of Canada also...

Most of them haven't stopped dancing the entire time.

Holy hell, now they're flying.

I'm not a huge fan of the artsy stuff, but some of it's cool.

A small part. They aren't the center piece of the country.

Steve Dahl commented on that. He seems to think that this is sort of an apology or something.

**zzbust** · 12-03-2010, 04:49 AM

The Natives have given 20 million to the torch relay and another 25 million to the opening ceremony.

That's a lot of money.

Plus our government hates them. So yeah, this could also be a bit of an apology. Our government really wanted a native light the Olympic flame tonight too, but that's not happening.

These fiddler are awesome.

**vvxtiopmx** · 12-03-2010, 04:52 AM

....Canadians can be weird...

**Seilehogshell** · 12-03-2010, 04:53 AM

I don't think those dancers will be allowed on any airlines any time soon...

**Rtebydou** · 12-03-2010, 04:54 AM

Why?

Those guys were pretty bad ass.

do you think the Native people have been front and center of the ceremonies???

I don't.

**Lafclaria** · 12-03-2010, 04:58 AM

That close-up on NBC just looked ridiculous

**UlceskLialels** · 12-03-2010, 04:59 AM

I don't.

You don't? My feed is about 15 minutes back, but to this point they sure have been.

**Guloqkcm** · 12-03-2010, 05:00 AM

Peter Pan is Canadian?

**TorryJens** · 12-03-2010, 05:01 AM

Peter Pan is Canadian?

don't know if he is but he probably wants to be...

Superman and Santa Claus are Canadian.....so is Winnie the Pooh.

**StitsVobsaith** · 12-03-2010, 05:02 AM

I think I have had enough of the ceremony for now. I really just want to see them light the torch, even though whatever technology they are using on the floor there looks pretty impressive.

**allvideO** · 12-03-2010, 05:03 AM

You don't? My feed is about 15 minutes back, but to this point they sure have been.

so you think they should be represented by population???

**legal-advicer** · 12-03-2010, 05:03 AM

I believe is is a 71 projectors from different angles for the videos.

**agolutuaddiff** · 12-03-2010, 05:05 AM

I wouldn't have spent so much time on it. If you would have, that is fine.

**Soadiassy** · 12-03-2010, 05:07 AM

I was thinking projectors, but I was confused by the fact they didn't seem to be getting blocked by the person standing and walking around, 71 of them would probably be able to fix that problem.
