Summarize this article for a 10 year old
The Yuki (also known as Yukiah) are an indigenous people of California who were traditionally divided into three groups: Ukomno'om ("Valley People", or Yuki proper),[2] Huchnom ("Outside the Valley"),[3] and Ukohtontilka or Ukosontilka ("Ocean People", or Coast Yuki).[4] The territory of these three groups included Round Valley and much of northern Mendocino County and Lake County. Today they are enrolled members of the Round Valley Indian Tribes of the Round Valley Reservation. The exonym "Yuki" may derive from the Wintu word meaning "foreigner" or "enemy."[5]
