Ok, I see. So you propose that these areas should not have any additional tags that would identify them as special aboriginal areas, and that the admin_level should be chosen on a case-by-case basis depending on the circumstances of each area and the country that it's in?
And furthermore you don't want these areas to be styled differently from any other administrative boundaries? (and if we follow those tagging guidelines, no one would be _able_ to style them differently because they wouldn't have any special tags?) I expect that would mean we'd continue to have problems with people tagging for the renderer, as in Brazil, where people will tag native reservations as nature reserves to get them to show up prominently on the map. But if we provided an appropriate generic "administrative" boundary style for tagging native reservations, it's true that the tagging for the renderer would probably decrease, if not completely go away. In any case, no matter what tagging we settle on, I agree that we need a humanizing rendering that's not the same as zoo or nature reserve. But that's a topic for the ongoing discussion in the osm-carto github issue.
