Checkbox label negating

For example:
Disallow Import vs. Allow…

What is the best UI for multiselect from a hierarchy of data?

I have a hierarchy of data and I need to create a UI to pick from this list. The data is structured something like an org chart, where teams have parent teams:
team seven
team three
–team one
–team two
—-team four
———team seven
Somehow, I want to show that some teams are “under” other team, so instead of just having a list, I thought of doing this:
team seven
team three
team three –> team one
team three –> team two
team three –> team two –> team four
But, this gets pretty wide pretty quickly if there is a deep tree.
Can someone give me some advice to create a multi select picker when there is lots of data and the data is in a hierarchy structure?
