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:
“The very best place to be in all the world is St. Mary’s parish, Jamaica. And the best spot in St. Mary’s is Port Maria, though all of St. Mary’s is fine. Old Maker put himself to a lot of trouble to make that part of the island of Jamaica, for everything there is perfect.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
