context_page_description: Twana is the collective name for a group of nine Coast Salish peoples in the northern-mid Puget Sound region, most of whom are extinct or are now subsumed into other groups and organized tribes. The Skokomish are the main surviving group and self-identify as the Twana today. The language spoken by these peoples is closely related to Lushootseed and is also called Twana.
  The nine groups were known by their locations, the nine groups were the Dabop, Quilcene, Dosewallips, Duckabush, Hoodsport, Skokomish, Vance Creek, Tahuya, and Duhlelap. Of these nine sub-communities of Twana, by 1860 there were 33 settlements in total, of which the Skokomish were the largest. Most descendants of all groups now are part of the Skokomish Tribal Nation and live on the Skokomish Indian Reservation at Skokomish, Washington. The reason they all are there at the one location is that they were all forced to move to Skokomish after the Point No Point Treaty in 1855.
