Currently an Adjunct Professor at the Institute of American Indian Arts—teaching in the Masters degree program in Art Administration—she utilizes four decades of direct experience working with cultural centers and museums, as well as tourism and economic development with Indigenous and rural communities. Her work continues as a consultant through Santa Fe Planning & Research in New Mexico (USA). She cares deeply about the future of cultures, communities, and Mother Earth. www.susanguyette.com
