Turtle Mound Indian Reservation
The Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation was established by Presidential Executive Order on December 21, 1882.
These lands are spread across 22 counties in three states: North Dakota, Montana and South Dakota.
The Reservation is situated in the southeastern part of the Turtle Mountain Plateau.
The Turtle Mountains are not really mountains but tiny hills, and the plateau is considered an extension of the plains or prairie.
Some Dakota Indians from Manitoba claim that chief Sitting Bull is buried in the Turtle Mountains on the Canadian side.
