Tribal Impact

美国和世界各地的原住民部落不仅在灾难发生时,甚至在平静时期也面临着独特的挑战。GEM支持这些社区的最新举措将在与部落领袖、长老和居民的直接合作下进行,以便对我们开展工作的土地和文化历史给予最大尊重。我们的部落影响支柱将有全年的项目和任务,专门用于救灾、备灾和通过教育进行长期强化。通过这个支柱,我们也希望鼓励和授权原住民的声音和权利,并在地方、国家和国际层面上倡导这些社区内的保护和平等。

Cold Springs Rancheria

GEM USA West team continually supports the Cold Springs Rancheria tribe. This is a low-income community that faces societal challenges, as well as hardships around preserving their culture. The GEM team is working with this tribe to reestablish and preserve their culture, in order for future generations to continue their heritage. GEM also supports this group, located in Tollhouse, California, with supplies such as mattresses, home goods, school supplies, Family Necessity Kits, and more.

Tule River

Located in Tulare County, California, the Tule River Reservation is presently home to 1,900 tribal members. GEM has a close relationship with this community, its Chief, Tribal council members, and spiritual leader. Initially responding to flooding, GEM now supports this community on a routine basis. Immediate needs, like food, is always important, but we strive to offer this community longer-term solutions to strengthen itself. For example, computers for schooling or large-scale water supplies.

危地马拉

Our GEM LATAM Director met and spoke with indigenous entrepreneurs in Guatemala, for training and education. Promoting education and business programs that sustain indigenous communities is important for preservation of their culture and livelihoods.
