Ray, Thanks for taking on the task of fixing the tribal boundaries. From personal experience of having done a number of these, it's hard work and easy to make errors. But don't let that discourage you. It feels great once you're complete.
One note - as far as I know, tribal boundaries should just be boundary=aboriginal_lands. Admin levels are designed for areas tagged boundary=administrative. Because tribal lands/reservations have a unique standings they should just be tagged boundary=aboriginal_lands. Feel free to contact me directly if you need help.
