The Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians (TMBCI) Reservation is located within the Rolette County, North Dakota and some parts of Montana. Landscapes mainly include grasslands all the way to boreal forests. The Turtle Mountain area, also referred to as "Turtle Island", is peppered with lakes large enough to support recreational activity. The landscape also supports extensive year-round outdoor activities and a rich heritage that continues through the Chippewa Indian Tribe.
