Greg Matthews

Gregory Matthews is proud to be a descendant and a Senior Elder of Tasmania’s Manegin People, a clan member of the North West Nation.
As a child, Greg felt an innate connection to the bush and nature, and remembers his grandfather and uncles imparting to him many useful bush survival skills.
Greg also recalls his Elders talking privately & naming his family’s Aboriginal ancestors, but at the time it was considered shameful to openly admit ones Aboriginality.
It was later in Greg’s life that he fully understood his Indigenous heritage, and the trauma that his family had endured.
