There is a good reason for the native peoples theme throughout these games. In BC, there is a lot of land that is claimed by various native groups but is held by non-natives. The games themselves are in lands that had traditionally been homes to four different peoples. By bringing these groups on-board, the organisers eliminated native protests.
Personally, even though it was expedient, I consider it to be a worthy approach. And I will admit that I may be overly cynical.
p.s. I use the word native because I cannot spell aboriginal.
