This site is maintained by staff at Washington State University’s Center for Digital Scholarship and Curation, Mukurtu.org and in partnership with WSU’s Native American Programs.

The Center for Digital Scholarship and Curation is on the ceded lands of the Nez Perce Tribe and the traditional homelands of the Palus Band of Indians. We acknowledge their presence here since time immemorial and recognize their continuing connection to the land, to the water, and to their ancestors.
