The Yellow Quill Trail, also written Yellowquill, is named after Chief Yellow Quill, who led Saulteaux First Nations living near Portage la Prairie during the late 1800s, according to the Turtle Mountain-Souris Plains Heritage Association. Yellow Quill is known for signing a treaty for land allotments with the Canadian government in 1875 and for being chief of two reservations: Swan Lake No. 7, and Long Plain No. 6.
