1. SIKU app

Stephanie is excited about SIKU, an indigenous social media network and a remarkable app crafted with deep respect for Indigenous communities across the Arctic. SIKU isn't just any app–it's a celebration of traditional knowledge and a bridge between generations. Picture journeying through the majestic Arctic landscapes, observing wildlife, and sharing ancestral stories with fellow hunters and gatherers. SIKU honors Indigenous cultures by providing a platform to map journeys, document observations, and exchange invaluable wisdom, all while fostering environmental stewardship. Join us in honoring and preserving Indigenous traditions with SIKU – where every interaction is a step toward cultural understanding and respect.
