[Imports] Preliminary Import/Organized Mapping Effort Idea

[Clifford Snow]

I do have Washington State tribal lands available [1]  as a background
layer for JOSM. There is also a vector tile layer [2] of the same
background available for iD users.

The data contains the name in english and the land type of Disputed Area,
Off-Reservation Trust Land, Reservation, and Tribal Headquarters. Only 4
disputed areas but 60 Off-Reservation areas. Some people include
Off-Reservation in tribal lands while others do not. My sense is that they
should be tagged as boundary=aboriginal_lands. I'd like to hear the opinion
of the group.
