Tony Shaw
Tony Shaw is the owner and Managing Director of ISA. Born on a reserve in Laverton, Western Australia, he is a Wongutha person and a child of the Stolen Generation; he was taken from his mother at an early age and raised in 16 institutions before the age of 14. Tony was raised “white” and forbidden to speak his native language or uphold any cultural beliefs, so when he was finally allowed to return to his family and his home, he was faced with so many challenges and found it difficult to feel like he belonged. This resulted in despair and depression, until eventually he sought the help of his Elders to teach him the language and ways of the Wongai people. Having inherited the fighting spirit of his mother, to whom he dedicates his work, he has embraced his culture and language, which is at the very core of his being.
