Thanks for the comment, Albert
I took a look at the ImagiNation site (this is the one? http://www.imaginationcards.ca/?sv=&category=Authentically&title=Authentically+Aboriginal ) I couldn’t seem to find much information about the requirements, certification process or policing of the symbol though. See certifications like Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) for a very thorough example of how a certification is implemented and explained: http://www.fsc.org/fsc-rules.html
You obviously don’t have to go to those lengths, but I think the Authentic Aboriginal program is worthy of a bit more depth in description and background than I have to date been able to find for it.
And I wholeheartedly agree that cooperation among First Nations is key to both survival and prosperity. You’ve been divided and conquered long enough.

Try ImagiNation for how that seal was developed and why.
Way before Canada or Canadian Olympics, First Nations people co-operated for collective community survival.

seems sort of like jumping the gun to announce something that almost doesn’t exist. I think it was done ‘just in time’ for the Olympics, for all those prospective consumers coming to the ‘green’ Olympics.
