The Cherokee Nation elected legislature (CN Tribal Council) as 15 on-reservation seats and 2 at-large seats under the 1999 constitution. These will be instances of a new subclass of electoral district I created:
located in the administrative territorial entity (P131) (Cherokee Nation)
For the on-reservation districts I can include:
coordinate location (P625) from the centroid of the area from the map service
area (P2046) using geometry from the map service
I will also try to use Census data via the MPC to include links to municipalities within the districts. It could be interesting to incorporate 2020 Census details though I don't yet know how that breaks down and whether we could get anywhere close to CN or other Native citizens from those data.
There are also some interesting CN GIS data sources on the ArcGIS Enterprise instance that could be tapped to link things like schools and community buildings, but those are likely entities that would need to be tracked down and created first.
