What a great idea! Siberia is a fascinating area. I have uploaded maps of the geographic distribution of indigenous Siberian groups here:
The first map is the distribution circa the 17th century, before the Russians had really expanded. The second map shows the situation around the mid 20th century.
The first map just has language families; within each coloured area there are many different languages and groups. The second map has more details of which particular languages and groups were in which areas, as we have better documentation from that time period.
(Incidentally, the Russian expansion into Siberia mirrors very much other European colonizations of indigenous spaces like the US, Canada, Australia, and Mexico.)
Are you close to an academic library? If so, there are several general books I can recommend Forsyth, James. 1991. A History of the Peoples of Siberia: Russia's North Asian Colony 1581-1990. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. Kolga, Margus, Igor Tõnurist, Lembit Vaba & Jüri Viikberg (eds). 2001. The Red Book of the Peoples of the Russian Empire. Tallinn: NGO Red Book
The London-based NGO Minority Rights Group International occassionally publishes information on particular peoples (usually relating to their oppression by a local authority), and they have done several on Siberian peoples.

(Apologies for the inconsistent citation style!)
There are also some academics who post a lot of their materials online, for example:
If you can read Russian, there's also a lot of Soviet-era documentation of indigenous languages. A note of caution, however: while in English, "Siberia" refers to everything east of the Urals, the Russian term sibir' apparently excludes the easternmost reaches, which have a separate designation.
