Looking at the admin levels, I agree 3 and 5 would appear to fit. But
boundary=domestic_dependent_nation (not a currently accepted tag, just a
place holder) would eliminate problems of which admin level the boundary is
assigned. I don't care for the term aboriginal_lands as proposed on the
wiki.

I don't believe we need to tag small tribal lands when they are remote from
the main tribal boundary. However, I don't have any good examples to offer.

One part of my original message I still  need help with. Why aren't we
adding these boundaries to OSM? If it is just that no one as added any or
is there an issue I'm not aware of? Personally I'd like to start adding in
these boundaries, at least in the US and then only for geographical areas
I'm familiar with.
