Summarize this article for a 10 year old
The Skokomish (pronounced /skoʊˈkoʊmɪʃ/) are one of nine tribes of the Twana, a Native American people of western Washington state in the United States. The tribe lives along Hood Canal, a fjord-like inlet on the west side of the Kitsap Peninsula and the Puget Sound basin. Historically the Twana were hunters, fishers, and gatherers who had a nomadic lifestyle during the warmer months, while living in more permanent homes during the winter months.
Today, Skokomish people are enrolled in the federally recognized Skokomish Indian Tribe.
Like many Northwest Coast indigenous peoples, the Skokomish rely heavily on fishing for their survival.[citation needed]
