<div dir="ltr"><div>Sam,</div><div>I've added a number of landuse=aboriginal_lands in the US. Although nothing as large as you mentioned. I strongly encourage you to proceed. Please make sure if you are actually doing an import to follow the import guidelines [1] including verification that the data is licensed suitable for import to OSM. If you can, add the name in the native language as well as English and French. <br></div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines</a></div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Clifford<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Oct 27, 2019 at 5:22 PM Sam Dyck <<a href="mailto:samueldyck@gmail.com">samueldyck@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hello all</div><div><br></div><div>It's been awhile since I've had the time to do more than casual editing, but I'm looking at an import project in the territories and want to make sure there aren't going to be any issues.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm hoping to import the land claims land boundaries in the territories from NRCan's Aboriginal Lands files. Unlike reserve boundaries, these are lands owned by an Indigenous Governing body with a unique governance regime set out in a land claims agreement. They generally have few if any permanent inhabitants but are used year-round for various purposes by the members of Indigenous group as well as non-Indigenous people subject to certain conditions. They clearly fit within the definitions set for the aboriginal lands tag.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I figured it was important since some of these packages are extremely large (e.g. the Tłı̨chǫ lands northeast of Yellowknife are 39,000 sq km, most of which are in one giant contiguous piece). As far as I can tell the aboriginal lands tag is visible at level 8 and below, so it shouldn't have an impact on the map at the lower levels.</div><div><br></div><div>Any thoughts?</div><div><br></div><div>Sam<br></div></div>
