They could have made a little less profit and had the products produced by First Nations People. There are 3rd world conditions here in canada and you think they would help the people out who are living in these conditions.
Instead all the products made in 3rd world countries
Now they are using the word authentic aboriginal art,helping destroy one of our last resources as the original people of NorthAmerica

However if corporations are allowed to 'control' everything on the Olympic site, and use words like 'Authentic" when it is really just another plastic MacDonalds - Coca-cola 'toy' then the whole World can see that Canada and the Olympics have no integrity, accountability or self-determination. Canadians themselves become as fake as the authentic aboriginal art. The world is needing each one of us to be respectful, responsible and authentic.
