Susie was born in Resolute Bay. Her father Markoosie Patsauq was relocated from Inukjuak to Resolute Bay in 1953. Her mother Zipporah Kalluk is from Pond Inlet.

When I was a little kid, when we moved to Inukjuak, I used to find rocks of diamonds and I used to literally collect them and I made a plan, when I get older I’m gonna be rich and I’m gonna buy Resolute from the Queen, it’s gonna be my land and everybody in the village are gonna be family, nobody’s going to fight. If anybody wants to fight, I’ll put them in a smaller community and they have to work it out by themselves without anybody else involved. I had a big plan when I was a kid!”
