     Stella Dora Twiss was enrolled as a member of the at Pine Ridge Agency, Pine Ridge, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA; OSA - 2924 Degree of Blood 3/8.¹ The nationality of Stella Dora Twiss was Oglala Lakota Sioux.¹ Also known as Dora Twiss.³ Stella was born at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Cuny Table, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, on March 17, 1897.^3,1,2 She was the daughter of William Twiss and Elizabeth Cuny.¹ She was listed as "daughter" and residing in the home of William Twiss on the U.S. Indian Census Rolls taken in 1900 at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA.¹ She was principal at Rapid City Indian Boarding School, Rapid City, Pennington Co., South Dakota, USA, in 1903 when an unknown person was a student. School:      Born in 1897 Dora was six and a half years old when she was sent to the Indian school in Rapid City, South Dakota. The boarding school established by the United States Government to educate Indian children was 80 miles from Dora's home, if you measured the distance ''as the crow flies". "Travelling by horse and buggy, it took several days to get there. There weren't any bridges or roads back then," Dora recalled, "and we had to ford the Cheyenne River. Rapid City was a small town, but it looked very big to me. The closer we got, the more my stomach hurt. I saw all the apple orchards around the brick buildings of the school. I was so scared. I knew I would have to stay,
but all I wanted to do was go home."
The little girls matron supervised the dormitory where Dora would spend the next nine months. The matron read them stories, dried their tears and helped them complete the tasks they were assigned. Some children went home during the school year, but Dora did not. It was simply too far, her parents were too busy and often it was harder to leave them again than to do without them during the nine-month period.
     "At Christmas there was a big tree and we all had a present," Dora recalled, "Sometimes it would be a toy or a new hair ribbon or a comb. We always received a bag of candy. Sometimes I'd receive a letter from my family, but the school eventually became my other home and I got used to being there."
Students went to class half a day and worked the other half. They learned to cook and set a table. The government furnished yard goods and each student made her own uniforms: a fine one of serge for Sunday school and one of seersucker for everyday. Mending, sewing, ironing, and cleaning were also tasks that were learned over the years. As Dora matured, she was given the responsibility of other chores, but she also became involved in extra-curricular activities. Her activities included basketball, which was always her favorite spare-time activity. She and other students took trips to downtown Rapid City to go shopping if they had some money.
     "The government did many things wrong, but they did provide us with a good education," Dora said. "I was the oldest in my family and eventually my four brothers also came to the school. They were housed in another dormitory, but I saw them once a week during social night. It really wasn't as bad as people often think it was. It certainly wasn't as hard for me as it was for my mother. When the government sent Mom's brothers and sisters to school, they generally went back east and didn't see their family for years. My mother and her older brother were sent to Denver to a Catholic school, but she hated it so much she came home and no one could make her go back. The government took charge of Indian children, even if they weren't full-blooded Indians. It was a hard time for all
of them.".¹ She was listed as "daughter" and residing in the home of an unknown person on the U.S. Indian Census Rolls taken on June 30, 1904 at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Wounded Knee District, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA.² She was listed as "daughter" and residing in the home of William Twiss on the U.S. Indian Census Rolls taken in 1910 at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Wounded Knee District, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA.¹ Stella Dora Twiss was allotted land on January 17, 1910 at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA; NAME MERIDIAN TWP RANGE SECTION ACREAGE TYPE CASETYPE DOCID DATE

She married Elza Isaac Bell at Hot Springs, Fall River Co., South Dakota, USA, on October 9, 1924.^3,1 Stella, as an unknown person 's wife, resided with an unknown person "After their marriage in 1924, the couple lived for a time near Chadron on the elder Bell's ranch while Dora's mother-in-law operated a boarding house in Chadron.", at Chadron, Dawes Co., Nebraska, USA, after October 9, 1924.¹ Stella, as an unknown person 's wife, resided with an unknown person "When the depression came it was hard to make a living in Chadron. I had a little land on the reservation. The
government gave each Indian family a certain amount of land. The head of the house got a section, and each child a
quarter section. Elza and I moved up to the section of land I had. We lived there for several years."
They were living on Cuny Table when their daughter, Frances, died of appendicitis. "After all these years, I still
don't like to think about it," Dora said. "She was just seven. We'd been visiting neighbors and when she complained
of a stomachache the next day, we thought she'd eaten too many green apples. She just got worse. Times were
tough. We had no car and the hospital was miles away. We hired my brother to take us to Pine Ridge in his car. By
then her appendix had ruptured and she only lived two more days. She was too little to die."
The saga of the barn began when the couple lived on Cuny Table. Elza had dismantled the barn at Scenic, South
Dakota, moved it piece by piece to the couple's land where he re-assembled it. The large structure became the
center of their operation.
At the onset of World War II, the United State government decided land located on the flat table area would make a
perfect target-practice area. They condemned the land, paid the Bells a set price and ordered them to vacate the
area. (After the war, the government offered Dora the chance to purchase the land at the price they paid her plus
interest. She took their offer and still owns the property which is leased to her sister-in- law.)
Elza dismantled the barn again and this time he moved it to Pine Ridge where it became the larger portion of a gas
station he owned and operated. A cement floor was run in the barn to create the area's first roller skating rink. The
rink was also used by area Indian groups for powwows and Indian dances.
The family, now consisting of four sons and a daughter, moved to Crawford where Elza secured a job building dog
kennels for the Canine Corps stationed at Fort Robinson. A competent carpenter, Elza seldom lacked for jobs. Dora
remembers that although he was a work-aholic, he also loved to have a good time and enjoyed seeing others have
one, too. "He and our son, Bill, built the roller skating rink in Crawford and eventually added a four lane bowling alley,"
Dora said. "Elza loved" [Jacqi Bell Dagenais e-mail], at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Cuny Table, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA, after 1929.¹ She and Elza Isaac Bell appeared on the census of 1930 at Washington Co., South Dakota, USA; According to the 1930 Federal Census for Township 41, Washington, South Dakota; Roll: 2232; Page: 1B;

He built dog kennels for the Army Canine Corps that was stationed there training soldiers and dogs for World War II combat. In the fall of 1944 the family moved to the house on Annin Street, the family residence until 1984. In 1947 Elza constructed a building east of the Red Cloud Refinery (known today as J&D Standard Station) where he opened and operated a roller skating rink. Skating on the cement floor raised a bothersome dust so Elza covered the floor with 4 x 8 sheets of Masonite which proved to be quite satisfactory. In 1948 he partitioned off part of the building and installed two bowling lanes which he purchased from C. B. Lesh of Crawford. First the pins were set by hand, later mechanical pin setters were installed. Although the pin boy or girl still had to pick up the pins by hand and the machine mechanically spotted them. The ball return was done manually. The business offered open bowling, as well as evening and afternoon league bowling. In 1953, Elza moved his lanes to Lusk, WY where he operated them for a year before selling them and returning to Crawford. Elza's main occupation was carpentry. He worked independently and was steadily employed. Around 1950 he
helped install the present floor in the Park Pavilion. The floor was sanded smooth, numerous applications of a tough plastic coating gave it a most durable finish. The floor is in good shape today."[Jacqi Bell Dagenais e-mail]

"He and our son, Bill, built the roller skating rink in Crawford and eventually added a four lane bowling alley," Dora said. "Elza loved to roller skate. He had ice skated as a boy and just had that skating bug in his soul." Elza chorded on an old organ for dances when we were first married. His love of music continued into his later years. In the 50's, Saturday night was reserved for his "trip to Californy." For an hour, the household activities quieted down, so Elza could watch the Lawrence Welk Show. As a boy growing up on the Bar T Ranch near Ardmore, South Dakota, Elza and his brother had spent hours cleaning up the remains of the cowboys' Saturday night parties. From that moment on he swore he'd never touch alcohol. He kept his pledge, even refusing to drink root beer when it came on the scene. As far as he was concerned the name was enough reason to avoid it. Dora continued to live in Crawford after Elza's death in 1968. Three of their six children live within one hundred miles, Don in Crawford, Bud in Edgemont, Denise James in Chadron. Harvey lives in Denver, Bill in Texas, and Esther in Arizona.[Jacqi Bell Dagenais e-mail], at Crawford, Dawes Co., Nebraska, USA, after 1942.¹ She resided at Crawford, Dawes Co., Nebraska, USA, circa 1983.³ Stella died on December 4, 1999 at Chadron Community Hospital, Chadron, Dawes Co., Nebraska, USA, at age 102.¹

     "As the Sioux Expedition shaped up, Superintendent Thomas Twiss of the Upper Platte Agency attempted to round up for safekeeping at Fort Laramie all Indians considered "Friendly and peaceable." On August 20, 1855, he advised the Secretary of the Interior that he had accounted for four or five principle bands under his jurisdiction-Brule and Oglala Sioux as well as Arapahoe and Cheyenne. Of the mission Indians, Twiss wrote, "The Band which murdered the Mail party is called the Wasazahas [a branch of the southern Brules], and was the Bear's Band before his death [at the Grattan massacre]. I cannot ascertain where this band is, at present, hunting, I expect, however, that my Runners will soon bring news of them". Twiss concluded his report with the assertion: "The Sioux difficulties have been magnified by false and malicious reports. There is not, as I can find, within this Agency, a hostile Indian. On the contrary, all are friendly. [Mattes, Merrill J.
