Olympic Twitter

The world was Twittering about our culture within minutes of the start of the opening ceremonies. Here are a few of the messages:

kristacallen: The Coast Salish people did not wear headsets. Well, they did, but we stole them.

kurtonken: thinks our Salish Sea neighbors to the north put on a nice little show 2nite. Looks like I'm going 2 make it 2 the end before nodding off.

qwalsius: Happy to see my coast Salish bros and sisters spotted throughout the Olympics.

Jcicely: I studies the Salish culture in College - such a rich beautiful history. I enjoyed seeing them part of the Opening Ceremony.

wildcelticrose: Watching the First Nations at opening ceremonies is just like being at home as our first nations are also Salish

katatcoolworld: Now it's looking like a coast salish Avatar... where are my 3D glasses???

redsmirk: Salish projections = awesome

Kiratiana: The Olympic Games opening ceremony includes a traditional Salish welcoming ceremony.

danigirl1987: Really enjoying the Coast Salish welcome.

Maggie_Dwyer: Salish nations getting much better coverage tonight than they have in decades.

dbmaimr: Personally, I think the guy in the poncho is rockin' the opening ceremony. Go Salish and Haida peoples of the B.C. coast, you rock...

kennymacktruck: This coast salish bit is amazing! Go hard

sarahivey: I love this...the welcoming by the Coast Salish. The poles are giving me the chills, and not because they're made of ice.

robertroutledge: fail on the anthem, but definitely respect that the four salish nations get to welcome the olympic visitors

cbwhitman: You sort of have to ignore the seizure of West Coast Salish lands, but we're definitely good at pretending to be accepting!
