Communities
Several Chippewa settlements are located on and around the small Reservation. East Dunseith is located on the plateau. It is surrounded by a forest and many lakes. Shell Valley is located in the extreme southwestern part of the Reservation. In fact, Shell Valley may be off Reservation, located on off Reservation trust land, as is East Dunseith. Shell Valley is not on the plateau. Belcourt is situated on the southeastern edge of the plateau. The forest is to the east, north, and west of the cdp. Many lakes are also located around Belcourt.
Dunseith is not on the Reservation but is also predominantly Indian. Even more so than St. John. Just east of Belcourt is an area which had over 100 housing units in 1997. Using google earth, the same area appears to have had the housing units torn down. However, about a mile east of the same area, another set of housing units has recently been built. The area has over 70 housing units. The name of the settlement may go by Green Acres Housing or simply Green Acres. The new area (Green Acres Housing) with the 70 to 75 new housing units, is likely a new settlement. The population of North Green Acres may be between 225 and 300.
Directly south of the area which is likely a new settlement (North Green Acres), is another area where a large number of housing units are located. It is over a half a mile south of North Green Acres and could be a part of the Green Acres Housing, or is in fact the Green Acres Housing. The area has around 33 housing units. It is obviously a settlement. The population of South Green Acres may be between 100 and 140.
East Dunseith Housing which must not be confused with East Dunseith, may have up to 80 housing units. Don't get East Dunseith Housing confused with the settlement which is identified as East Dunseith which is over 3 miles north of Dunseith. East Dunseith Housing is just under a mile east of Dunseith. The population of East Dunseith may be between 240 and 320.

Famous quotes containing the word communities:
“Culture is the name for what people are interested in, their thoughts, their models, the books they read and the speeches they hear, their table-talk, gossip, controversies, historical sense and scientific training, the values they appreciate, the quality of life they admire. All communities have a culture. It is the climate of their civilization.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.”
—A.J. (Arthur James)
“I am convinced, that if all men were to live as simply as I then did, thieving and robbery would be unknown. These take place only in communities where some have got more than is sufficient while others have not enough.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
