Aboriginal Pavilion
We got our first looking inside Olympic aboriginal pavilion that’s across the streets from our studio here at Georgia and Hamilton. Organizers are hoping it would showcase of first nation’s art and culture to the country and to the world.
“This is the aboriginal pavilion, almost but not quiet done. The final touch will be a 60 foot don. Another eye catching reminder the world first nations of these games. You can see it everywhere, in the design of the medals, the look show logo, governments paid aboriginals goods more than a hundred millions dollars for games related projects. And first nations been given prominence even reverence at every public event including today.
“Great recognition for us been here on co-celesh first nations territory, traditional territory. We were lucky to be here today.”
Some critics wonder this is nearly a strategy by Olympic organizers to pre anti-protest. But TEWANEE JOSEPH, who is working on these games says it’s more than that. Aboriginal people been treat with respect he said as equals.
“We gonna point over hundred initiatives related to these games that first nations in you and me team involves from torch relay to contracting business opportunities to you finishtives. We gonna point all of them and say, here is how these games made difference. We’re ready to show that with the world.”
And we a likely to get a lot of visitors and pavilion is one of the middle of the Olympic hospitality room and just short walk away from tow of the biggest venues GM and BC Place.
