Rooted in Bioregional Resilience, Wired for Liberation#
Based across ancestral Karuk, Yurok, and Hupa territories—Happy Camp to Hoopa, Somes Bar to Kepel—we’re building community-owned tech ecosystems where the Klamath meets the keyboard.
The Klamath Tech Collective is a bioregional tech collective dedicated to shrinking the tech literacy gap and reclaiming technology as a tool for community resilience, self-determination, and regeneration. Our mission is rooted in the belief that technology should serve the people and the land, not extract from them.
Our Currents Flow Through#
- 🛠️ Bioregional Hacktivism: Free & Open-source collectively built infrastructure, community organized workshops/trainings
- 📡 Signal Reclamation: Encrypted comms for data sovereignty, and solar-powered mesh networks on mountain tops
- ♻️ E-Waste Revival: “Mend & Defend” hardware clinics turning old smartphones and forgotten laptops into functional and useful community tools
- 🌱 STEAM from the Ground Up: Youth-led projects!
We Resist By#
- Teaching digital self-defense and privacy skills to every neighbor, auntie, and uncle.
- Returning technology to its rightful place: as a tool for us, not a tool over us.
- Coding for bioregional and cultural resilience, not for profit or extraction.
- Owning our means of production- community-owned media broadcasting from the riverbanks to the mountain-tops.
- Rejecting AI overlords in favor of ancestral intelligence networks–because wisdom is grown and shared, not calculated.
Our Toolshed Includes:#
