Join us in celebrating Native American Heritage Month with speaker Susan Anderson.

Susan Anderson is a wisdom keeper and storyteller for Little Raven traditional ceremonial community where her family have been ceremonial leaders for over 200 years. She is of Creek, Cherokee, Anglo, and African descent. She and her husband Roy, who is an enrolled member of the Comanche Nation, own and operate Native Natural Farm in Jefferson County, Florida. Together they preserve the traditions of earth centered spirituality that have been handed down to them for countless generations. 

In addition to her work with Native Natural Farm, Susan has worked as a resource planner, journalist, educator and natural resource interpretive writer. She has served as executive director for two nonprofits, and as consultant on numerous environmental and cultural projects. Her love of the land and respect for the food, fiber and medicinal value of native plants has been a guiding force in her life. She is a traditional fiber artist working primarily with native plant fibers and dyes. She has developed an intimate and comprehensive understanding of her land, its ecosystems and cycles, and how these things relate to the unique “medicine of place”. Her academic background includes degrees in sociology and religion from Florida State University, graduate studies in urban and regional planning at FSU, and cultural sustainability at Goucher College in Baltimore MD.
