[Talk-ca] First Nations reserve naming

[stevea]

While I realize that my recent wiki edits which further clarify how we do this are not in Canada, but in the USA (which mentions how "First Nations" in Canada "gives a neighboring flavor to the semantics"), perhaps Canadians who have participated in or read this thread care to give it [1] a perusal.  Our wiki and practices in these regards continue to evolve, and the USA wiki's recent evolution has incorporated some sharpening of semantics from this thread, such as how a "case-by-case" approach has emerged, that "what the local people say about their land" must be respected, and that this continues to evolve into "many different approaches," such as what Pierre and I briefly discussed here happens in other boundary tagging in OSM:  like, "a village might be represented by a node inside of, and in addition to, the boundary (multi)polygon."

And to be clear, in the USA, we don't (necessarily) assign admin_level=* tagging to these (it might emerge in the future that we do), but I understand that in some cases (again, "case-by-case"), as Pierre says, in Québec, sometimes these get admin_level=8.  It's good to see OSM mappers being so careful with tagging practices.  Wide discussion (local, too) is of paramount importance, so we continue to "get it right" (well, as much as we can).

Ah, "light, not heat."  Thanks to all for a furtherance (somewhat difficult, for reasons which can be attributed to a single person) of good tagging practices in these regards.
