Explore adding Tribal Government political boundaries to OSM #5

A while ago, I created Wikidata items for the 15 Cherokee Nation Tribal Council districts. 13 of these are on the Cherokee Nation Reservation, and the CN Government maintains a geospatial service with the boundaries delineated. It would be nice to get these into the public domain on OSM and available for broader use and referral. I imagine the same is true for other Tribes who have organized in similar ways. The appropriate classification for these as relations would be boundary=political, but we'll have to look further at the schema to determine how best to associate them with the Tribal Government.
