Skokomish is a Native American tribe in western Washington state in the United States.
The Skokomish or Twana language belongs to the Salishan family of Native American languages.
A sampling of the collection of Skokomish baskets and other cultural artifacts are available at the Burke Museum, on-line exhibit, located at http://www.washington.edu/burkemuseum/collections/ethnology/collections/index.php.
The SkokomishRiver is the largest tributary, in terms of volume, in the Hood Canal Basin of Puget Sound in western Washington state.
The North Fork of the SkokomishRiver is thirty-four miles in length, and the South Fork is twenty-eight.
Because the North Fork of the SkokomishRiver was the most important salmon and steelhead-producing stream on the Hood Canal the Tribe, the Bureau of Indian Affairs and state fisheries agencies opposed the project (Skokomish Indian Tribe, Cushman Project, 1993a).
