the wiki has them as proposal on boundary=adminstrative,  admin level 1, but
this is definitely wrong. they should be either level 3 - 5. as far as I
know they have a pretty special legal status and level 3 seems to be a good
choice.an adminsitrative boundary should always render. For more details a
tag like native_nation is a good idea too. the discussion page has some
other ideas which are a bit discrimiating and native_nation is the best
choice.

haven't searched for Native American reservations data but there should be
something available. If someone knows where to get it and what tags to use
it can be done quickly
