About Me   About Me
WE NEED TO DO MORE THAN JUST WHAT IS RIGHT, WE NEED TO JOIN TOGETHER TO RIGHT WHAT IS WRONG.-LEONARD PELTIER

Gemma Givens is of Mayan heritage from Guatemala. Adopted as an infant, she was raised in an Irish American family and at age fourteen adopted again into a Native American family. Following her passion for social, environmental, and political justice Gemma became an activist in 2006. Her work has focused on indigenous issues. At the 2009 Indigenous Peoples’ Global Summit on Climate Change in Anchorage, Alaska she attended as a youth participant. In 2008, she interned at the International Forum on Globalization in San Francisco where she met world-renowned activists. Her love of photography has steered her towards photojournalism. Gemma is currently a reporter for Reznetnews.org and is a 2009 graduate of the American Indian Journalism Institute at the University of South Dakota in Vermillion. She currently writes and is an editor for the Third World and Native American Student (TWANAS) Press at the University of California Santa Cruz where she will begin her second year in September.
