Karuk Tribe

The Karuk Tribe will support core library services at the People’s Center Library as well as its Sípnuuk Digital Library, Archives, and Museum. Both resources share Karuk history, language, traditions, and living culture, following Karuk culture protocols. They plan to expand the collection to include more born-digital and digitized content. Materials include images, movies, audio, and documents focusing on Native foods and fibers, cultural practices related to the management of natural resources, traditional knowledge and skills of Native people, and Karuk language and culture. Library staff will also enhance skills by attending the annual conference of the Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums.
