[Talk-ca] First Nations reserve naming

[Michael Stark]

Hey, sorry for the delay in replying. I've been a bit busy between when I
last wrote and now. Also, I hope I sent this correctly as I am not familiar
with using the mailing list.

What I ended up doing is following what how other First Nations with one
reserve are displayed on OSM. That would be a relation for the First
Nation, and a relation for the reserve. It may sound redundant to have two
separate relations, and I thought this at first too, but upon further
consideration, I think it might be the right solution. The reason for this
is that both the First Nation and the reserve have separate names, official
names, Wikidata tags, Wikipedia tags, previous names, et cetera. So the
existing relation is for the Tsuut'ina Nation and has all relevant tags,
and I created a new relation for the reserve, which has all tags relevant
to the reserve.
