Hello all
It's been awhile since I've had the time to do more than casual editing,
but I'm looking at an import project in the territories and want to make
sure there aren't going to be any issues.
I'm hoping to import the land claims land boundaries in the territories
from NRCan's Aboriginal Lands files. Unlike reserve boundaries, these are
lands owned by an Indigenous Governing body with a unique governance regime
set out in a land claims agreement. They generally have few if any
permanent inhabitants but are used year-round for various purposes by the
members of Indigenous group as well as non-Indigenous people subject to
certain conditions. They clearly fit within the definitions set for the
aboriginal lands tag.
I figured it was important since some of these packages are extremely large
(e.g. the Tłı̨chǫ lands northeast of Yellowknife are 39,000 sq km, most of
which are in one giant contiguous piece). As far as I can tell the
aboriginal lands tag is visible at level 8 and below, so it shouldn't have
an impact on the map at the lower levels.
Any thoughts?
Sam
