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.

Famous quotes containing the word island:
“I should like to have seen a gallery of coronation beauties, at Westminster Abbey, confronted for a moment by this band of Island girls; their stiffness, formality, and affectation contrasted with the artless vivacity and unconcealed natural graces of these savage maidens. It would be the Venus de’ Medici placed beside a milliner’s doll.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
