What The Mother Teaches is an Ideon Media and Motion Entertainment co-production that tells the story of Cree mother Sage Morin, who is also a professional wrestler known as The Matriarch. A 3-part digital video series launching on September 30, 2025 in honour of National Day For Truth & Reconciliation, What The Mother Teaches is a powerful and personal look at the challenges facing Indigenous mothers in Canada, and the strength of their communities that support them.
In episode 3, Sage connects with the women who’ve shaped her life- her mother on the strength of community, her best friend Corenda on raising children after growing up in foster care, and musician Cynthia on the healing power of motherhood and identity through music.

Held each year on September 30, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation was recognized by the Canadian government beginning in 2021. The day honours the lost children and Survivors of residential schools, their families and communities.
Absolutely beautiful!! ❤️
I cherish every minute of this trilogy – the truth, the tears, the tenacity…..the Resiliency. If intergenerational trauma is in our genes, and it is – there is also healing in our DNA. We are witness to it.
So beautifully done Sage! So proud to know you, your mom Ruth and your aunties! Keep doing what you do!
