Chiming in as another settler. I really wish we had more Natives active on OSM contributing their cultural knowledge. What could we be doing different in the future to welcome and engage them in our community?

The US and Canada are UN member states with international recognition, each with an autonomous region under indigenous governance. The tribal governments themselves may dispute this, which is fair. Perhaps one day they might have an internationally recognized sovereign state with defined borders. But on the ground as of 2020, there are no such states, only subnational autonomous regions. So I think the current tagging makes sense. Though I wonder if places like these qualify as disputed territory. After all, the US and Canada have a nation-to-nation relationship with each tribal government.
