Re: [OSM-talk] Native American/First Nation, etc. Reservation Boundaries
hi, ... Reservation-boundary might cross a first admin boundary, so two admin=3's might cross/hit oneself. You need to establish for these meta-state situation a distinction-term - or create a seperate boundary system - or make-up the admin-levels by adding more levels (f.e. 40-49) - like in protected_areas. And even reservations might hit eachother(?). This protected_areas-key is, where you have to act in any way different than usually - where you have to take care, change your behavior (no photo), because of named *local* policies. A Reservation is located in state(s), which give or takes sovereignty (domestic dependent nation). A reservation is no province - but it might become one ... and doesn't mean the distribution area of an ethnic group. With these class=24 you have a clear seperate key. Question is, if one level is enought: With a use of Relations, you can too combine scattered tribal lands and too seperate zones within one level - so OSM don´t has to stand by with a long number of levels, what is to be avoided (I heard), if you think of possible global ideas. zone example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1749699 best, tshrub ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

It is entirely relevant, because Native American nations are, for almost all practical purposes, either above the county level or the state level to try to shoehorn it into that hierarchy. They have their own laws, levy their own taxes, run their own courts, schools, jails, road authorities, police, issue license plates, and in a few even more sovereign examples, issue internationally recognized passports and have their own militia forces. They're even recognized as independent in the US constitution, and analogous UK situations just aren't running into this debate.

Re: [OSM-talk] Native American/First Nation, etc. Reservation Boundaries
The previous tagging was inadequate, bordering on offensive (particularly with the rendering, which suggested indian nations and reservations were the same and more of a touristic draw than administratively significant). I've suggested using administrative level 3 and 5 for the purpose in north america, but this doesn't quite cover edge cases along national boundaries that don't apply to the indian nations in question; not sure if this might be a good or practical use for 1 or not. Either way, my idea for using these admin levels has been met with deafening silence.

And then there's somewhat in between examples, such as the Osage Nation, which is a reservation, but has probably the highest degree of sovereignty of the tribes that wound up in reservation status. They just don't really have much say in land matters). Akwesasne is just an extreme example of the same situation that the Cherokee, Muscogee and Chickasaw are in, to name a few examples I see daily (I live just a few hundred meters north of the Cherokee/Muscogee border and I'm a 10 minute car ride from the Cherokee/Osage and Osage/Muscogee borders; and within a 5 hour drive of approximately 60 similar borders). ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
