The Tribe’s history identifies Skokomish within the wider Twana community landscape of Hood Canal. It describes how diking, dams and shoreline restrictions affected access to resources and culturally important places. These are the Tribe’s historical explanations; the directory has not independently reviewed each land claim, engineering record or legal outcome.

The Cultural Resources Department lists work ranging from archive records and conservation schedules to museum collections, loans and repatriation. These responsibilities make cultural preservation more than the display of objects: records and materials require continuing care. The published list does not establish that individual archives or cultural knowledge are open for unrestricted use.
