There have been a lot of groups that have been exceptionally supportive of the bid but have not profited as the local Native groups have. They have no reason to feel slighted any more than the rest of us do. Probably less.
I'm not a fan of the logo, but it is different from typical Native art that can be found (and more importantly sold unlicensed) in any gift shop downtown. I'm sure that had something to do with the decision.
Me personally, I like the Canucks old logo circa 1983-96. The skate is very wintery and the orange, black, gold and red is a very rare colour combination, not likely to be copied by anyone.
