[Talk-ca] First nations boundary tagging

Hello,

I operate a site that processes level 7 and 8 administrative boundaries, so
I spend a fair bit of time fixing these boundaries when they break. I've
noticed some objects that appear to be First Nations boundaries showing up
in my list recently, namely:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/11305308
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/11370588
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/11319666

These have the following names tagged in OSM:
Area B (South Fraser Canyon/Sunshine Valley)
Area I (Blue Sky Country)
Area I (Skaha West/Kaleden/Apex)

Are these correctly tagged as boundary=administrative + admin_level=8?
Both the constructed name and the boundary=administrative seem incorrect.
Should these be boundary=aboriginal_lands instead?  Or something else?  Is
the scheme for name correct?
