How about saving the beaten down taxpayers of this country and just skip the whole idea! After all, aren't the aboriginal people declaring themselves to be protectors of the land? Get out on the land - you don't need a building of any sort. More totem poles - symbolic, beautiful, in natural surroundings, and a lot less costly. Maybe more inukshuks in the north. Whatever they can come up with for the Metis...giant sashes? 

Geez I am sick and tired of all this pandering.....this country has way larger problems that need more than the smoke and mirrors by PM Zoolander to take care of.
