Is rendering the issue or tagging?

You provoked me to look further. I found a level 4 admin boundary with a
boundary:type of aboriginal_lands for the Hoopa Valley Tribe. Previously I
was only looking for a name with the work reservation. It was just added
August 4, 2012, relatively recently. I think your suggestion of a level 3
or 5 would be more appropriate.  At first glance it looked like the Six
Rivers National Forest, but it actually the Tribal boundaries.
