Sípnuuk is a repository and program for born-digital, digitized, and to-be-digitized contents containing Karuk knowledge, culture, language, traditions, and science. The Sípnuuk Division is held under the Pikyav Field Institute within the Karuk Tribe Department of Natural Resources. 

We prioritize materials and content at risk of loss due to environmental and colonial causes such as climate change, natural disasters, and housing insecurity. We caretake and curate materials that hold knowledge, endure Karuk cultural memory, and emphasize our contemporary lived experiences as a People.
