This is REALLY going to be different in Oz than USA, but please consider boundary=aboriginal_lands.
boundary=aboriginal_lands is not applicable to Australia for at least two reasons:
1. Australia does not have a system of "reservations". Before the 1960s there were Aboriginal reserve (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aboriginal_reserve). But these no longer exist for fairly obvious reasons.
2. Where Indigenous land rights have been recognised in Australia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_land_rights_in_Australia) this is done by issuing a communally owned freehold or leasehold title. In effect this is the same as anyone else who owns land in Australia.
The other concept that seems to confuse mappers is the Indigenous Protected Area (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_Protected_Area). This is an area protected by indigenous people rather than for protecting indigenous people. The areas have a IUCN protection category so should be protect_class 1-6.
