Yeah. I dunno why they keep making that vancouvers theme (the olympics and now this) native people, canada offers a lot more than just that.
The thing is, they are specifically locating the Worlds in Vancouver. It's not Canada-wide or anything. Totem poles are perfect, considering the unique Pacific Northwest First Nations People. If the Worlds was located down in Seattle or something, it might have been the same thing, really.
Considering the Olympics, they more focused on Inuits though, with their symbol being an inuksuk. Even the mascot characters didn't convey it, and were perfect. Only one character had a Native design on its hat.
