Abstract: We consider a group G acting on a local dendrite X (in particular on a graph). We give a full characterization of minimal sets of G by showing that any minimal set M of G (whenever X is different from a dendrite) is either a finite orbit, or a Cantor set, or a circle. If X is a graph different from a circle, such a minimal M is a finite orbit. These results extend those of the authors for group actions on dendrites. On the other hand, we show that, for any group G acting on a local dendrite X different from a circle, the following properties are equivalent: (1) (G,X) is pointwise almost periodic. (2) The orbit closure relation R=(x,y)inXimesX:yinoverlineG(x) is closed. (3) Every non-endpoint of X is periodic. In addition, if G is countable and X is a local dendrite, then (G,X) is pointwise periodic if and only if the orbit space X/G is Hausdorff.
