Grahams Island
It is a part of the Turtle Mountain Reservation. Grahams Island may be some 60 miles from the Turtle Mountain Reservation but much of the island was allotted to some Turtle Mountain Chippewa's. The island is only a couple of blocks from the Spirit Lake Indian Reservation. Much of the island is covered by a forest. The island was the location of chief Little Shell I village in the very early 1800s. Other Turtle Mountain land allotments are located in Liberty County, Montana which is west of the Rocky Boy Reservation and only 47 miles from the Blackfeet Reservation.

“In all things I would have the island of a man inviolate. Let us sit apart as the gods, talking from peak to peak all round Olympus. No degree of affection need invade this religion.”
