I could help with this.  I want to know if anyone imported the
Aborignal Lands data from GeoBase and if not why?  Is this data that
would be helpful for OSM users?  I think so.  I would like to work on
importing this data.  Therre are about 613 Aboriginal communities in
Canada with Reserves associated with each one.  I could start a
planning page to layout the import.  I already altered the
geobase2osm.py script to a geobase2osm_al.py  and it does the job, but
it needs a bit more work, since this script would be producing areas
and not ways.

yeah WHY is the chart used and not the wiki?
