From what I understand, much of the olympics are taking place on Native land- it was an issue of contention- many of the protesters are protesting native rights (although doing an awful job of it- breaking store windows). The First Nations represented at the beginning were to show that they welcome the games and the athletes.
I personally think it was just a bit overdone. If you know NOTHING about Canada and only watched the opening ceremonies you'd think Canada was only First Nations and full of snow.
