Mel Steffensen is a First Nations woman from Peek Whurrong land in the Gunditjamara/Maar Nation which surrounds Warrnambool in South-West Victoria.  We chatted about Mel growing up with a largely 'white' upbringing, before embracing her Indigenous background later in life.  I learn (butcher!) a few words in the Peek Whurrong language, ask if Aboriginal people prefer to be called Indigenous, Koorie or something else, and learn a few stories about the amazing Gunditjamara/Maar Nation.
