Wrestling with Grief: The Story of 'Justice for Geo'

Sage Morin’s life changed on May 19, 2013. A tragedy altered her family forever, and Sage was left to pick up the pieces, all while navigating her own deep grief and a complicated legal system.

More than a decade later, the trauma of her loss has become a badge of resilience and healing. Sage’s transformation is literal: She enters a wrestling ring, donning the character of a proud Cree fighter, inspiring a new generation of Indigenous youth.

Jana G. Pruden, feature writer for The Globe, tells the story of Sage and her rebirth into The Matriarch.
