Suzanne Greenlaw

Indigenous scientist, artist, consultant, and-most recently-children's book author, Suzanne Greenlaw is a citizen of the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians and a senior staff member of the Wabanaki Commission. Suzanne lives in Orono, Maine, with her husband and two daughters, Musqon and Alamossit. Her sweet family was the inspiration for The First Blade of Sweetgrass, a book she authored alongside her husband Gabriel Frey, a traditional Passamaquoddy basket maker, and released in August of this year.
