Olympic medals
The way the HBC appropriated the Cowichan sweater has really pissed me off.
natives not knitting sweaters == natives not working == normal.

Not fair - they wanted this gig.
how long would it have taken them to produce all the sweaters? I'd imagine we'd see summer Olympics in Chicago before they were done.

I like them. They're original. IMO, medals shouldn't have to explicitly represent the country in which the games are held, but implicitly represent the region. I think native art is a huge element to west coast culture and these medals represent that. In addition, they are all one of a kind pieces of art.
I say good on the designers for bending, if not breaking 'traditional' rules for meh-looking medals.

This just in: American owned big box retailer chooses cheap mass produced goods over limited run locally made goods. Full story at 11!

well get on it man! the internet wise-assery olympics could be very successful.
We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.
