Caught this on the Seeb's website this morning:
www.cbc.ca/radio/docproject/becoming-a-pro-wrestler-helped-this-b-c-woman-embrace-her-carrier-first-nations-culture-1.6039638
There's a video of her in action against "Wonder Woman", for All-Star Wrestling on BCTV back in the 1980s.
Amid all the sad news that's come out lately about Canadian residential schools for indigenous children, this profile's a small little flicker of positivity on the power that sports in general, including pro wrestling, to bolster new and positive perceptions of those we would have called "minorities" back then.
The promotion, Universal Wrestling Alliance, was also responsible for bringing a young announcer/manager named Mauro Ranallo to the fore.
