The First Nations' lands near me are, for the most part, recognized as 'domestic dependent nations' and, if we wanted to be formally correct, would most likely come in at admin_level=3. (admin_level is rather a mess in the US, because we have things that aren't strictly hierarchical at all levels - we have a First Nations treaty land (established by the Jay Treaty of 1794) that crosses an international border, and others that span state lines, just as we have cities across county lines, villages across township lines and so on. In my state, no First Nations land is within any township - towns, cities, and "Indian Reservations" are all disjoint. The "Indian Reservations" have home rule for many matters. I'd be fine with boundary=administrative or a sui generis boundary=aboriginal_lands, but 'protected_area' is horrible.
