Guatemalan artist Peter Morales will install "Water Totem," a 72" granite sculpture of a crow sitting on a turtle, which blends Native American and Central American imagery.
Coinciding with the city's 150th anniversary, a total of 10 drinking fountains will be installed to "to celebrate the role water has played in Minneapolis history and to foster a commitment to honoring and protecting water as fundamental to all life," according to the city's website.

It's a bit mangled. Central America is part of North America, so the part about "North and Central American Imagery" has some redundancy to it, like discussing "California and Los Angeles Imagery"
It is even worse when it refers to blending "Native American and Central American imagery", as all of the imagery discussed appears to be Native American-related.
No big deal. The story seems to be gone now anyway.
(The entire tcdailyplanet.net site happens to be down at the moment, which explains the bad link.)
The link is fine now.
Technically speaking, you're right. But I think you know what the article meant.
Besides, the definitions sometimes vary between sources. For instance:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America
The term North America may mean different things to different people in the world according to the context. Usage other than that of the entire continent includes:
* In English, North America may be used to refer to the United States and Canada together. Alternatively, usage often includes Mexico (as with North American Free Trade Agreement) and other entities.
* In Latin America, Spain, Portugal, and some other parts of Europe, North America usually designates a subcontinent of the Americas containing Canada, the United States, and Mexico, and often Greenland, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, and Bermuda.
